Up 1.7% in a single month is MASSIVE.

This marks the end of the house price crash. It's been a good one, but sadly, has to come to an end.

I am fairly surprised to tell the truth.

It will go down at winter but will it ever go lower than the low of this year.

I was thinking 25%-35% but I think I may be wrong.

Very interesting. I was wondering if Higher Asking prices would translate to higher sale prices and it certainly seems that way.

i think things are moving as interest rates are so low and that is encouraging people to buy. There are also really great deals out there. In addition people think that they can pay a lot more debt when interest rates are so low. At the moment there are lower prices for house and lower interest rates. There may be lower prices in the future but interests are surely to go up. That is the only explanation I can offer otherwise I am also shocked!

North and Wales doing the main gains by the look of it. But they did get hit the hardest.
