    40% down In Northern Ireland.

    February was the 29th consecutive month that prices had fallen.

    Your graph is an average. No doubt propped up by cash rich buyers in the SE of england. Probably [STRIKE]wa.nkers[/STRIKE] bankers spending their bonus

    Oh, BTW, are your numbers from a nationally recognised and verifiable source like Nationwide or Halifax indices, land registry, etc?

    Or some local Uni......;)

    im not suprised. who the hell wants to live in NI?
    Do you think all those people who jacked up prices in NI, buying like crazy during the boom did not actually want to live there. And now they have changed their minds? Could be I suppose.

    "Darling, lets pay 200k for a dump in NI"
    "Yes, lets"

    "I don't like NI, why did we ever move?"

    University of Ulster is a great source. It deals with NI only. Unlike nationwide which gives the [STRIKE]UK[/STRIKE] south of england average.

    40% down a loving it :T:T:T

    I also love living in NI. As do many others. ;)

    Sorry, but if you expect us to believe some local uni, where the data is probably collated by half stoned students, over the national indices from respected and credible organisations, you're sadly mistaken.

    So what are the Haliwide saying in their regional data releases?

    Let me guess, NI troughed last year?

    So you think the data is fiddled to make prices look like they are falling? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Lovely warm people like Gerry Adams and Iris Robinson. It's what makes Ulster that little piece of paradise that neither the Rep of Ireland or GB wants.
    I think the problem is that they both want it.

    That may be an oversimplification of 300 years of history.

    Maybe it's why prices went up so much.

    This survey analyses the performance of the Northern
    Ireland housing market during the period October to
    December 2009. The report is concerned with trends and
    spatial patterns in the housing market drawing comparisons
    with the fourth quarter of 2008, as a measure of annual
    change, and with the third quarter of 2009 as an indicator
    of short-term, quarterly change. The report is produced by
    the University of Ulster in partnership with Bank of Ireland
    and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive

    Some of these bears are becoming really quite vulgar and snide, as the tide turns against them.

    Pathetic really.

    Try looking at your HPI colleagues on this very forum, glass houses, stones and all that.

    Tide has turned according to whom?

    If it's a VI.... I will laugh out loud.

    it was a question i asked.
    they have one of these at the end of the sentence (?). it's a question mark by the way, seeing that you didn't know what it was...

    i know you struggle with the basic comprehension, reading and social skills but we're here for you as an outlet so that you don't embarrass yourself in the real world.

    praise the lord that we have the internet for people like doire and they don't mix with real people :T
