Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Being a non techy type, educated pre-1979...oft by candlelight, I am always impressed by computery graphs and stuff. Good one Cleaver.

    Only one person excited about the prize so, if you win, you can have a custom fit...up to size 30 if Mrs LE is that size.;)

    BTW, anyone else offering prizes? The charity raffles in your areas must really struggle.

    I've taken the liberty of taking a snapshot of results gathered so far and have produced an annotated graph. I know that nothing gets people more excited than a good annotated graph to bicker over, although I apologise in advance for not having the traditional 'dispair', 'bull trap', 'capitulation' or 'new paradigm' sections.

    Thanks. I'm now wearing my beer.

  • Not sure whether to put my real guess of -7% or try and get placed in the realists column?
    Go on then -7%

    I'm very impressed with the graph. I appear to be in the right bit hovering between being a bear and a hopeful renter :T

    I think he just wants it for himself

    I'm willing to contribute a brand new Jack Daniels turkey baster and leather bound wallet thingy to the winner, am I not merciful :money:

    Y'know what Hamish, you may be the most optimistic, one-sided poster I've ever really come across on here, but you give as a good as you get, have a insistance about you without becoming too insultive and, most importantly, seem to have a very healthy attitute of being able to take a joke and not take yourself that seriously. Still think your love of HPI is complete and utter mentalist lunacy of course, but I guess most of us can live with that. You big debt-loving scottish kilt-wearing monkey.

    I kinda hope that you make a home in this forum. HPC's loss is our gain maybe.

    I like McTittish as well.


    He's just a silly boy but he's harmless and does make me laugh.

    Very merciful ;)....up to Cleaver how he divvies up 1st, 2nd and 3rd...I wonder if he has had any practise at fetes and the like?.....Can be a bit of people politics when donated prizes are graded.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I feel shamed into donation.. A cake (or brownies) is all I can think of though.

    If any of the 70% club end up proven right they could offer a house as 1st prize :D
