    So it's rising prices not offensive remarks about my husband that made me reply like that?

    You really are an idiot, chucky.

    kinda feeling a stabilized market occurs when transaction levels return to normal - otherwise its not really a functioning market imo

    Joeskeppi, where are you when you're needed?

    This is pretty much what any "bull" is saying anyway. In fact I was predicting a 4% drop by January only last month.

    So yes, we're right as usual, thanks for pointing that out.

    So, just to clarify, Joeskeppi, to you, the Economics Editor of the Telegraph is a "cretin" who's biased as priced out of the market - but the FT writer is OK.

    How do you figure that out?
