    You guys, I guess you are guys, have a grief chart? For house prices? Seriously?

    I can see I am going to learn a lot here.

    mmm wonder who you are, perhaps this new under ID is not the wisest thing after the week you had.

    that is correct but as you know it would depend what house price index that you use

    Ahh right, so this surge in sockpuppets must be using their own index. I get you now! :beer:

    "Of course a long, harsh winter season could free up a few deposits via inheritance :eek:"

    To clarify, I'm selling a property inherited to me. I want to take it off the market over the Xmas period as it's become a bit stale on the market, have proposed works under consultation and would like a bit of a break from viewers.

    I suppose people may lose older, vulnerable loved ones this winter, like any other and come into some money but that was not the point of my comment. Having lost my Mum, it's most certainly not my intent to gain from other's losing theirs.

    What i meant was, I feel agents want to keep me on their books under for any reason which may not be to my benefit. THEY suggested families will come together, unlike mine (as I've lost mine), to discuss and, maybe, help thier kids with deposits etc.
  • Fully agree and now we are back above it.
    Hopefully the winter months will claw it back on the trend.
    Then it will be good for a bit of stability and house prices follow the long term trend instead of banjoing way above and below the line like a yo-yo.

    So, now that you agree that it went below the mean, can you agree with my opinion of where we were on the grief chart?

    Graham,

    You say that people on here run away from questions, but I'm still waiting on an answer from you to the above question.
