    Hopefully a blip,

    Could the blip have been the caution in the market caused by the general election and the emergency budget?

    The coming few months will be interesting ;)

    out of interest i looked up the Academtrics numbers because i was wondering why you started in March...

    i found that Feb was +1.6... so....

    that shows a 0.5% increase since Feb... that one month increase nearly cancels out each one of those monthly falls...

    why don't you put those numbers up instead?

    Isn't it always?

    I think you have raised an important point there. With Feb included it makes a lot of difference. Thanks again for always being there to right these inaccuracies. I was beginning to

    it's brilliant that i now get Exocet aka mewbie, MrBrown following me around the forum now, things never change... it's lovely - some people would think that he was bitter about something or even a bit sad...

    what i've done for consistency is given you January's too - that was +1.5%

    Not sad at all. Not mewbie either, but you know that. I think including Jan is even better. Then it starts from the beginning of the year.

    I guess the forum financial year starts in Jan? Or maybe April? I don't think it reall

    why the anger Exocet and the need to follow various people about the forum - you used to be a funny guy, someone who brought a bit of humour to the forum. what happened? what went wrong?

    So house prices are up 2% or so this year, despite all the negative press, election uncertainty, emergency budget, mortgage rationing, and the continued high unemployment and weak economy.

    Remarkable.

    Oh it all went wrong when the Academtrics survey came out. Up until then I was a happy go lucky guy, reasonably successful, but the news of a percentage movement just seemed to send me off the rails. You see Chucky, it's so important to me, what happens with house prices.
