    Show me a time in history when house prices have bee completely stagnant - other than the points of inflextion (ie at the bottom and at the top).

    Oh, hang on, its different this time.

    Why not include the bottom and the top they are when stagnation occurs.

    Otherwise you are saying show me a horizontal diagonal line??

    Nominally pretty much from 1992 q4 - 1995 q4 would that be long enough for you?

    Shame, you might have learnt something.

    I actually misworded the bit you quoted anyway and editted the word sustainable to continued after reading it.

    Hear no, see no, speak no evil. I'm imagining pink ear muffs, a pool ball in the mouth and your eyes gauged out with your 'house prices rise only' limited edition spoon.

    I adore it when people cannot intelligently contribute to free debate, and become entrenched in school playground type antics and comments.

    i suggest you go back to mummy and ask her who your daddy is... she may not remember but at least she'll pretend that she knows, just to keep you happy... that will make you feel better...

    good luck with that

    Me too, why would anyone have an 'emotional' attachment to HPI? I imagine it's pure business with chucky, emotions have no (correct) place in the business world.

    by your logic the current stagnation (plus or minus 3%-5% over the year) is the bottom of the trough.... what happens after that....

    Oh, hang on, its different this time.
    Sorry Chucky, you are talking more pish than i thought you were capable of.

    Prices are (as of todays figures) 7.5% above their trough so how this be another trough? You need a peak inbetween troughs and this is the latest peak as we have seen recent rises and a mini-boom.

    You only have to look at the data to clearly see that after the trough of April 09, prices rose nearly 8% peaking at £168433 in March 2010.

    Your reply is an attempt to twist the facts to try and ridicule my point that looking at historical figures, HOUSE PRICES NEVER STAGNATE. They go up, they go down, they have peaks and they have troughs. The last trough was April 09 (as detailed by the Halifax in their report). Im calling this period of apparant stagnation as a peak and house prices are going down again

    I did post this to your question.
