    So different....why?

    I was about to ask the same question....is it down to the way the figures are recorded at the various places? What is included, what isn't included?

    Just seems so much different to the figures yesterday.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    21.3%, I think it may have breached StevieJ's 20% down barrier.:D

    I thought it was the Halifax figures published today :confused: I use the FT ones that include all properties :D

    Is it truely whole of market? Repos etc? I'm thrilled if there really is a truer picture: its been a gripe of mione that there isn't one. Now there is just the issue of not being able to see through cashback and stampduty paid prices.

    They are seasonally adjuststed. The MoM figure is not unexcpected.

    The main figure to look at is within the report - Q1 2009 is 2.7% lower then Q4 2008 which brings it in line with Nationwide figures more or less.

    Sound fundamentals.... sound fundamentals..

    Anyone remember that being spouted? Well i'll quote it :

    'Sound fundamentals... sound Fundamentas:

    - Credit Crunch
    - High Unemployment
    - massive Personal and public debt
    - 30% devaluation of Pound
    - potential Rampant Inflation and destruction of expendable income.

    Sound fundamentals for a total apocapylse if you ask me ;P

    I could be wrong but I doubt whether it covers repo's and auctions, if it did the figure would surely be a lot lower than even the Halilax data.

    EDIT, ok after a quick scan through the speel, it seems there are no mention of repo's and auctions. So really it's of no more value than any of the other indexes.
