That so perfectly encapsulates the bear mentality on here, I would thank it 1000 times if I could.
So if the government was using your tax to actively keep house prices low, you woudn't be just a little ticked off??? Of course you wouldn't.0 -
1.0% ~ Decrease in average Aberdeen house price in 2009 Source: Register of Scotland - Inflation Adjusted
.
Did I mention already today how full of carp you are?
According to the Register of Scotland......
January 2009 Aberdeen average house price = £160,959
December 2009 Aberdeen average house price = £172,603
That's a 7.2% increase for the year....
Now adjust that for inflation and choke on it, you bitter little troll....:rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Yes, but they're not, are they......;)
I can just picture your face when the indices keep rising this year......

How dare you, I hate cheap fish. Assuming you meant a nasty poo-related insult, actually you didn't as you can see from this quote from another threadHAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »Daddybears assertion of Qaurterly YoY is also correct.HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »According to the Register of Scotland......

How strange, this latest register of Scotland indicates otherwise
http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/Statistical%20Publication%20(Oct%20-%20Dec%202009)%20issued%20Feb%202010%20Final.pdf
Oct - Dec 2008: £172,337
Oct - Dec 2009: £175,755
That's 2.0% increase for the year.
Quarterly data is more accurate as it removes the noise. Also, I hate to point out the obvious but data for Jan to Dec isn't 12 months, maybe prices tanked in Dec 2008 and you conveniently didn't include them.
Or, maybe you got your figures from La La LandHAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »Now adjust that for inflation and choke on it, you bitter little troll....:rotfl:
Oh dear, is all that anger really neccesary? I have several friends who are psychiatrists, I can PM you their details if you like.0 -
I think we can sum up your entire posting history as.......... “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

When they stagnate, at best0 -
Well i can't make head nor tail of what's going on.
Hamish seems to have figures I can't see on any table on the PDF.
Which table do you refer to Hamish on the lastest ROS PDF? This looks ar Oct/Dec 08 - Oct/Dec 09.
And why do you only compare 11 months instead of 12?
I can find the data daddybear is using, as it's there in front of me on the PDF, but the data you seem to be using it elusive!0 -

Graham, we can quibble about stats all day long. None of the stats posted have been technically incorrect. The reality is though, that Aberdeen prices never left 2007 levels. The only argument is over which month in 2007 prices were/are at.
Aberdeen is also highly seasonal, last years spring bounce was 19%, and lasted from Mar til Nov. Prices are now dipping over winter, as they did last year, but spring is almost here again......
Given that prices elsewhere in the UK fell back to 2004 levels, that's a great result.
And regardless, anyone buying in 2007 (on a tracker, anyway, haven't bothered checking a fixed) is now up tens of thousands versus renting a comparable property for the same timeframe.
And the stats are here.....

There is so much bad news happening with terrible implications for all of us, only an idiot (or debt junkie) would be concerned whether their house had gone up in "value"."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -
