OK Graham, let's agree for the moment the graph can move up and down with growth or deflation in the market (although not by much). You have now learned it can't be a straight line and why.
So what bearing does the line moving up or down have on the argument. What point are you trying to make here?
We are simple idiots here, some of us merely female. Please elucidate.0 -

Very simple.
This whole pathetic argument came from the very point that the trend does NOT equate to what the average price of a home should be....therefore, we have not met equalibrium with average, as the average on the trend has been pulled up.
I'm sure you will tell me I do not understand, but in terms of PRICES, the trend does NOT show the average because the trend has been pulled UP by the rises in the boom years, out of sync of what would be the average in normal times.
The only people confusing this are you and ISTL who keep telling everyone they do not understand, when you both are taking things completely out of context and slapping in your "graham wants it to go down 30%" lies to try in some sort of lame way to prove yourselves correct. You have added imaginary timeframes thst "graham said" which I never did. Imaginary percentages that graham said that I never did. To be honest, you have totally confused yourselves with hearing what you would LIKE me to say so you can do your whole "Oh, your wrong Graham" boll*cks.

I was talking in terms of prices, not timescale. I believe prices will fall 50-60% from peak, with a 15-20% fall so far we are about a third of the way through.

Who cares about the graph, all we know from it is that using history and the 3 times this has happened before, prices are likely to hit around 120k before all this plays out at least:D, the ledge we are now sitting on is exactly the same ledge as the 90's graph that the trend line goes through.;)
After having a better day than I thought I would today, I'm pretty chirpy now, however if unemployment was dropping, GDP rising, government and personel debt low, taxes were coming down, future IR's were coming down AND house prices were rising I'd be worried, we'd be in for some serious HPI.
But as we can see none of this is happening, Wylie Coyote has ran off the edge of the cliff smiling at the camera, he is yet to realise there is nothing supporting him except thin air, anyone know what happens next ??:D0 -

If we're talking hindsight, the question should read, 'What are your predictions if the government prints £125 billion of freshly folded and they will borrow more money than even your grandchildren will be able to pay back'
If that was the question, I'd have voted with you.;)0
