How can you think demand is static and supply is up when the report clarifies both are up.
You can't just take one part of the report only because it suits.

The silver lining for you is that supply is up more than demand.

The only reference I can see to demand in that report is:

"There was a resumption of interest in the housing market following the fall that took place in January, which was due partly to the extreme weather conditions during that month and the reversion back to the previous stamp duty regime," said Rics spokesman Jeremy Leaf.

I think demand is pretty static.

It's up on last month, but then so is everything really. Exceptional month.

Nice to see you now using specific months data to prove something though....all those times you have said single month's don't really count

I'd say that when the Q1 figures are released in a few week's time, we should see an overall increase for the quarter of 2 - 3%, which would do me very nicely indeed !!

2-3% more expensive for your kids to buy? Yep, you've got that all worked out haven't you?

Nail on the head there mate, of course when stiflersmum bites the dust, she will leave a rather expensive house to her offspring.......... however, her offspring will obviously have gargantuan mortgages to pay off, therefore negating the effect of any large amount of money that stiflersmum house fetches on the open market.

Pyramid schemes...... economics for the !!!!!!.

Your absolutely right, this overview report does not contain as much facts as others that have been discussed.
If you were to go to the source of the report (as kindly linked by Rinoa in post 13 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=30676735&postcount=13), you would see that demand is up 7% while supply is up 15%

Here's the direct link

The new buyer enquiries net balance rose to +7% (from –20%)
while the new instruction net balance rose to +15% (from

-5%)

Where have I insinuated that?
The headline of the report says "House prices: Rises MAY start to slow"
It's taking recent informatin and extrapolating into what might happen if the trend continues.

In no way have I said that this one month is categoric proof of what will happen.
I leave the crystal balls to others

To clarify, what I have said regarding one months data is that it is noise, not that it doesn't really count.
Once again you have picked things up wrong.

As I said to chucky. With the amount goalpost changing and word changing going on, it's no wonder I don't "get it".

This whole "you don't get it" is used in nearly every thread now by literally 4 people. You, really, chucky, Hamish. The same 3 people with the same thoughts who thank each other religiously, who enjoy changing contexts of what was said.

So yes, you are right, I never have a clue really what you are going on about as you change tact so much. An example is what you have just done. Asked me how I thought demand was static, telling me the article said different. Now you come back and you are talking about a completely different article, therefore, I don't get it.

Am I supposed to guess you are not talking about a specific article when you reference a specific one? If I don't guess correctly, does that mean I don't get it?

Keep on chucking the line out all you like. No skin off my nose. Others seem to be able to grasp without any issues what I am talking about, and this whole issue about taking things out of context has also been picked up by others.

But then writing a rant is so much more believable than supplying any evidence.....

Take it ISTL has supplied evidence to back up what he has said to cause you to drag other posters names in to it.

Trying to start another argument Graham?

PS can we now not thank threads we agree with?

Rewired thanks you even if you had said you have wiped your own bottom, perhaps if you said you wiped someone else's you would still get thanked.

What evidence am I supposed to supply here? (Please answer that as I'd love to know!)

Trying to start another argument really?
