It's like you can't write a post without getting a jab in.
Keep waiting. Again, that prediction of a bottom was made BEFORE QE and BEFORE the bank baillouts. If you remember, the markets rallied on the sign of free money. I couldn't have predicted that.....and neither I doubt, could you, as you didnt.
easy graham - you dive in to tell me to enjoy the recent rises and you expect not to reply to your post.
why would i enjoy them - they dont' affect me... are you allowed to try and make comments but then not allowed to receive them?0 -
So the logical conclusion is not to try to predict what might happen or make plans based on any sort of forward looking viewpoint. Simply to report what has actually happened.
Do you actually have a view on where things are going Chucky? Where you see house prices at beginning 2010, or 2011? You're obviously very knowledgeable - how about you say what you think will happen.
Alternatively you could just !!!!!!.
Mewbs i suggest you stick back to the gags - that was your strong point.
now playing the internet warrior isn't the most impressive role play you've done.
you've even started to pick up on people's grammer - as you well know we all make gramatical mistakes, so as put down it's not the cleverest.
as for calling me a fool, troll, etc, etc... so what it's an internet forum.
i hope you're feeling better for calling me that.
stick to the gags - you look much prettier.
and yes you have become much angrier.0 -

You have been posting for ages about prices increasing, so enjoy being right...for now.
Sometimes I think your literally sitting there looking for something you can take wrong and splurge out some cr*p too. Did I say you personally were enjoying prices rising in a financial sense? No.0 -

well you've thought wrongly for a change.
i've posted about house prices increasing and i've also posted about house prices decreasing to - so what's your point.
here's what you saidGraham_Devon wrote: »Looks like a mini boom. 7k in four months? That's what we saw in the boom.
Which is always followed by the inevitable...
I'd enjoy it while it lasts.
why would i enjoy being right on an internet forum - that's not exactly an achievement is it?0 -

which arguments did i give today - i've given you house price numbers for 4 months - you didn't seem to like it - end of.
now get down from your high horse.0 -
It's a waste of time Graham. There's no obvious debate to be had, just a series of obtuse answers that never go anywhere. It could well be a bot, so devoid in any intelligent reasoning or proper interaction.0

here's the bot that is devoid of any intelligent reasoning or proper interaction. you're right there's no obvious debate to be had, below is what is happening in real life - it couldn't be discussed here... i'll leave it with you.those same Nationwide volumes are still higher than were being sold when prices were falling in the consecutive months. so more volume now, but it's not good now. i'll leave that with the people that Thank your post.
when the volume was lower and prices falling - the Nationwide figures were good enough but their questionable now.
i've always said they weren't and still aren't great indicators by the way.
it would all depend on when you buy - if you bought a year ago an average Nationwide property (i'm not sure where you can buy one of those) you would be down.
if you bought a few of months ago - you would be making money on your property.
February 2009 £147,746
March 2009 £150,946
April 2009 £151,861
May 2009 £154,016
that's a 4.24% increase in 4 months - i'll let you work out the annual average from that0
