    OK - better idea -0.1 because then we can have the reverse slanging match from yesterday - I always like it when the Halifax numbers come out the other way from the Nationwide ones for a month as it lets us have the same sterile debate again a few days later but with the opposite camp in the ascendency :)

    If it is negative its going to put a big question mark over the Nationwide data.

    It will be positive imo.

    I'm kind if thinking it will have a big rise so that it at least slightly resembles the nationwide one, but, dunno ;)

    Will show a YOY rise as seasonally we're in the best period of the year traditionally for house completions.

    October, November, December will be a better indication of the real underlying trend as will the current pent up demand rally run out of steam by then ?

    Why will it put a question mark over the nationwide data and not a question mark over its own data?

    Because the halifax havent been deleting sections of their data from the lower valued properties in the index. I am sorry, but if I am going to form an opinion, I want the full data to form an opinion from. Its odd the Nationwide has started to show abnormal rises since they started puttin n/a in large areas of their "flats" quarterly data.

    Oh, and the fact that the halifax has the largest share of the market. IN such low volume times, do youy go for the smaller or larger data sample?
