    Not many houses for sale near me but they all have sold boards up :cool:

    There hasn't been a house that's sold in my postcode since August 2006. Houses very rarely go on the market in my area. very few people even sold their house in the boom.

    Poor old mitchaaa . . . Hook line and sinker.

    As I keep saying, he will revert to using any evidence to support his view that prices arent falling, even if it's 16 years old.

    Can't we just let people's comments here stand alone? They say enough IMO without elaboration.

    or even, jsut save it? The personal attacks cut both ways in this thread and show clearly its not a one sided thing, even before the more ''bizarre'' accusations start.
