Monthly data is notoriously inaccurate. Tut Tut.

Thanks, I now see why you missed out december.

After making my way to the page where I can see all of the statistics, Dec 08 - Jan 09 saw a big fall.

December 2008 - Aberdeenshire £199,384
http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/la_dec08.pdf

January 2009 - Aberdeenshire £176,156
http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/la_jan09.pdf

December 2009 - Aberdeenshire £200,283
http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/local%20authorities%20dec%202009.pdf

So.....

Over a statistical, 12 month period. December 08 to December 09, average house prices in Aberdeen increased by a whopping £899. I make that around 0.5% increase over the year very roughly.

HOWEVER!! If you completely ignore December, and call 11 months a year, indeed, you can show that house prices rose over this "11 month year" by £23,288.

What a difference a month can make. I've honestly wondered about why you have ignored december for a while.

I guess now I know.

And strangely enough will be followed by another winter, unless they have been outlawed on planet Hamish.

Dont forget to adjust for 3% inflation Graham.

I can see Hamish's face now

Surely Hamish wouldn't use selective data to make himself look good...... would he???

Well to be fair, inflation hasn't been an average 3%.

Probably 2% or something like that, but can't be bothered to calculate it.

No point in me highlighting a descrepency in hamish's figures if I'm then going to account for an average inflation that's not real!

I agree, but the figure of 3% is comparing Jan 2009 to Jan 2010, which is roughly the time period we are talking about.

Yes, but you can't exclude the months between Jan - Jan. Would be disingenuous, which is what I'm currently pulling Hamish up on.

Not that he's reading, he's now left this thread and started his own abuse me plea. I'm quite pleased though. This thread got a special mention
