    Change the timescale on the graph.

    Or just look at the one on hpc..... I'm sure you know where to find it.;)

    You'll find that it doesn't.

    Check the ROSEA website for the most recent figures which show the most recent Aberdeen average to be £165,307. Not the £172,301 which you've based your graph upon.

    Get your facts right before coming over all shirty.

    I read hpc, I'm not a "Troll". What's 'cc'?

    What do you mean "change the timescale"? I have looked at the graph on hpc. I see no seasonality.

    The ASPC graph also shows no seasonality.

    Please demonstrate the seasonality.

    I think one needs to get ones facts straight.
    I've linked the webpade with the released data.
    Here it is again
    http://www.ros.gov.uk/professional/eservices/land_property_data/lpd_stats.html

    You will find that the latest released data is February.
    Here is the link
    http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/localauthoritiesfeb2010.pdf

    within you will find the latest released data for Aberdeen City is £172,301.

    When the data for March is released, the graph will be updated

    Hope that clarifies the figures which are utilised.

    No it isn't.

    I think you'll find there's more recent data available than that...

    You flatter yourself by looking only at the 'professional' pages on the ROSEA site. Do you style yourself a 'property professional'?

    I'm just a mere member of the public, so I've looked at the 'public' pages on the ROSEA site.

    http://www.ros.gov.uk/public/news/press_release_flash/28day.pdf

    6.9% decline in Aberdeen between 7 feb to 6 mar.

    Oh do keep up at the back there, the rolling weekly flash data is unreliable for anything other than general direction.

    Several found this out to their cost a while ago when triumphantly posting screenshots of a 10% fall, only to have it bounce right back with a 10% rise 6 weeks later...... Which I note was quietly ignored by the guilty parties.;)

    The March figures may well be down on February, last year the bounce didn't start til April, but the weekly flash won't be an accurate representation as to how much.

    Nor will it have any bearing on the fact that prices are already rising, as that data is two months or so out of date.

    The bounce has started already in Aberdeen, but those figures won't be published until June or so....
