    if its the supply/demand issue thats driving prices up, then why the huge dip in east anglia, has there been massive job cuts there recently?


    It seems strange that asking prices have fallen anywhere, given the publicity that has been given to this "mini-boom" we've had/still having, id have thought sellers would be steadfastly refusing to budge their asking prices down.

    Dunno if this has been mentioned...

    But the RM index only included the initial price of the property. If the property's price changes, it isnt used.

    t'is a good point until you see what is the average percentage of asking price that is being achieved - 93.3% of the asking price is currently being achieved.
    i can't see that getting any higher though

    Strong numbers for January.

    Thanks Rinoa

    That's really wonderful news for a Monday morning. Are there any indices left that are not strongly in positive territory for the past 12 months?

    Other than the morale indices for the bears, I s'pose
