That graph is too short. It needs to show at least 20-30 years of prices.

Dont take the graph above to heart. Its shows a UK average and its also based on very low transactions.
For a real picture research prices in your own area.
For example the government stated the other day that during 2009 the average price rise was only 2.9%

Just do your own research

Well out of date could do with interest rates mapped on that as well to provide some perspective.

Your data only runs to Aug 09 - some six months ago.

What has happened to house prices since then???

Let me show you ....

To be honest, I didn't look really. I know which way they're going this year... and next.
