    thats a very intresting point nembot. and one which surely points to future heavy house price falls
  • A 0.5% fall is merely the appetiser for the really big falls in house prices we'll see in the latter part of the year.

    Looking at the LR, does that simply mean the likely stagnant market that many predicted

    The winter falls of last year neve materialised.
    On saying that, it appears we are nicely following the long term trend from Nationwide

    Got to laugh - the bears just make it up as they go along.

    March 2009 - Its only 1 month, means nothing because falls will contune next month
    June 2009 - The spring bounce will end soon
    September 2009 - Big falls during the long cold winter ahead
    Xmas 2009 - Brit changes his siganture
    Jan 2010 - Big falls this year!
    Mar 2010 - Another house price crash after the General Election
    Aug 2010 - Big falls during the long cold winter ahead

    House prices have been falling for quite a while now and are lower than they were this time last year

    The published figures suggesting otherwise are just spin and bullsh1t


    100% guaranteed

    You said the above on another thread.
    Quite an appropriate response I thought.
