    I guess it depends on your definition of booming.
    Certainly when comparing Apr 07 with Apr 10, house prices in Scotland has is 5.09% higher.

    Of course, you should always be aware and be looking at a more local focus if really interested in property prices in any specific area.

    Not booming in my book, but certainly closer to booming than crashing

    I have only one thing to say to this thread, but I thought I'd say it in capitals, given the thread title is shouting (not entirely sure that's good manners...):

    I DON'T CARE!!!

    There said it.

    You can get back to your gloating thread now, Hamish. ;)

    Scottish prices arent up. you dont need to refer to stats to see the market is bloated with competitively priced homes that still arent shifting.

    I study the property pages religiously and nothing is selling. Infact, every week I see prices get cheaper and cheaper. Properties that do eventually sell end up back on the market a couple of months later.

    Aberdeen plus 4% last month alone, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Inverness all up month on month and year on year.

    There mat be a few areas not booming just now, but you'd have to look quite hard to find them.....;)
