    Strong growth in the South West which provides a bigger cushion for the small falls we'll get this winter.

    What happened to the falls we were meant to get last winter?

    I still feel it's a bit disingenuous that the media don't mention this fact when they talk of rising prices. And I still stick by my guns that with those low approvals
    you were obviously even more visibly upset when the media didn't mention the fact that there were even lower volumes than now when there were house price drops in the past... :)

    I wouldn't use the word 'upset', considering the way things are economically, I couldn't wish to be in a better position than I am now. But I'll still 'bang the drum' for the bears out there.
    that's all fine though... but the volumes comments don't hold much water because they're higher now than when there were price falls.

    they couldn't have been valid then...

    Maybe those falls didn't come with a '100% guarantee'

    Indeed. This time last year many were reporting winter 2009 falls as FACT rather then personal opinion. Im amazed this hidden forum is still going to be honest, cant be many folk left now?
