    Sorry Graham, I hate to pick on your reading skills for the second time in two days.

    But....

    Perhaps you could enlighten us as to which part of this......



    ..... is good news for the crashaholics?
    So house prices falling by 1.7% NSA with little distressed selling is good news for the bulls?

    If its 1.7% a month NSA without distressed selling, imagine what could happen in 2011 if interest rates go up...

    I thought the bears said Nationwide was a rubbish indicator yesterday. How come it's gospel today? :rotfl:

    I`m not saying it`s gospel, but the BBC seem to think it`s blasphemous, so they won`t mention it.

    What I will say is that I bet that at least one of those houses they lent money on was a nice house, in a nice area, and has dropped in price.

    Another 11 years of 0.9% monthly falls would mean nominal prices had fallen almost 70% FWIW.

    That looks like it needs flushing out with new, improved, Quantitative Easing.
