November house price data now out for Registers of Scotland for actual sold prices.
Aberdeen:
November 2009 = £181,426, versus Nov 2008 price of £160,004 and now within 4% of the absolute peak in July 2007 of £188,925.
Also now higher than every month in 2007 except for July and Sept, and higher than every month in 2008 except for July.
Prices have increased by almost 10K since September, and this in what should be a declining seasonal trend.
:T
A dead on cert to cross peak in 2010 I reckon, and already significantly higher than when I bought.....
Edinburgh now at 213K, versus 230K at peak, also up dramatically from 196K in Nov last year.

Closer to crashing then.
I know, 250000 new families etc.
Just don't see why you see hitting peak after a crash so soon wth rampant HPI is a good thing.0 -

Not in Aberdeen.......
Rent is higher than mortgage payments here, with rental yields of 8% fairly typical.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

There are only two options here......
1. There really is a shortage, prices will rise, and those who positioned themselves to benefit will do so.
2. Prices will fall again, before rising again. Those who positioned themselves to benefit will still do so, but it'll take a little longer. And a few more people may benefit, if bank margins come down and stop wiping out gains from lower prices as they are currently.
Homeowners win either way.....“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

You can't even be original, can you?
Do you think it's funny to repeatedly troll threads with ascii facepalms, and now the troll spray I waved around last time you were trolling?
You really are a prize muppet.
But keep it up, as it only proves how desperate you are if thats the ebst you can do on a debate board when the facts go against you so decisively.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
