    Learn and understand the word 'valuation'. It's not a hard word, one day you might get it.

    Until a transaction occurs, there is no price, mearly a valuation.

    To call this a 'price index' is as misleading as calling CPI inflation. It doesnt measure what it's title says it does.

    Asking-prices/valuations are still significant in that they do give an indication of market sentiment though, which in turn gives an idea of where prices might be going.

    Do you mean the one that lasted for 10 months From April 2009 or the one that hasn't started yet in 2010 as it's still (officially) winter...*

    * As we all know, come the 21st March all houes prices will magically inflate by at least 5% overnight...!

    Yes indeed! Waiting to pounce like a rampant tiger on all confused housing market bears - Rworrrarrr!!!*

    - On a separate note, Nutrisse, Nembot called me a cowboy. For all he knows I could be a builder (I'm not) and as such that might have been offensive (It wasn't).

    I trust you will be reporting him anyway? I could be fibbing about not being hurt and may actually quietly sobbing on my keyboard

    *Too. Much. Coffeee.....
