    Best to sell now then and cash in on 'the return to normal', because as sure as eggs are eggs, your 35k will have gone up in smoke in a couple of months.;)

    Hopefully they will continue rising for a while to let me sell my house! Then they can drop like a stone, not that I have a vested interest!

    Despite the clamour for more facts and timelines, etc. from the bulls - I must say I like that graph. It feels reasonable and chimes with experience of what has happened so far, and matches my expectations of what is likely to happen. It is simple, and therefore powerful, in its message.

    I do have a slight problem with the bear trap words. To me it should be a bull trap, ie. bulls fall into it. Piglet fell into a heffalump trap - a trap designed to catch heffalumps, he didn't fall into a piglet trap. I could write more on this (rather than house price stuff), but won't.
