Can we have region by region? These averages mean little to most people.

Oh and one more thing............this from the same report

He added that the state of the economy would be the dominant factor for the future trend for house prices.

Tell me how is the economy again?

However, he said that there were signs that more people were putting up homes for sale, which would curb any future rises.

Good news

It's all on local like you said. Ireland is doing a lot worse on transactions and prices compared to mainland UK.

You may as-well argue with yourself in a mirror, personally i'm fed up of hearing it.

Market, is poor, estate agents still struggle to make ends meet, buyers who push up the price are kidding themselves, and those with PREMIUM properties will not have a trouble selling regardless of the market conditions, its all about Quality, not quantity, I personally disagree with supply and demand its very Niche driven, a road might have 3 houses for sale, but if its not the one on the end of the road which is detached then it still doesnt fit the bill, houses in the UK are so diverse, there is something for everyone, for 95% of most buyers, the other 5% will wait wait wait for that perfect one.

If you think the trouble is over, ask the people who still haven't sold after over 18 months on the market, ie, those who refused to reduce their prices.

Ask them why they havent sold yet, when average selling prices have increased.

I could quite simple answer that for them... your asking too much in the current market, stats might suggest its getting better, but the only way it will be, is when liquidity returns, and stability is forecast. The road ahead is bumpy, very bumpy.

We have already been advised, LIQUIDITY WILL NEVER RETURN to the levels seen since wholesale mortgage markets were obliterated, and people who got so badly burnt will never return to invest in it.

Simples... :-)

And those who are putting 'offers in EXCESS of' in adverts ... I hope they sit there waiting for a buyer until their retirement day
