Apologies if this has been linked already. I simply cant bear to look at Page 2, as it will be full of beastliness and obfuscation.
Here is the press release:
http://www.nationwide.co.uk/hpi/historical/Q3_2010.pdf
"
House prices fall in most regions during the third quarter
- House prices fell in nine out of thirteen UK regions in the third quarter
- London market cooling down but still outperforming other regions
- Purchase activity higher in most regions than one year ago, but housing market turnover still very weak"
Does seem surprisingly downbeat after what was essentially, an unexpected rise. Then again the Nationwide were predicting falls all through the market rally in 2009 so they havent proved very good at predicting their own index.
Difficult to predict what will happen next, but its not looking like significant growth or falls in the short term.0 -
Hypothetical question. Who would create the post if the figures were completely flat - 0.0%0

Please.
Somebody on House price crash website.
Can you tell Realist Bear he's been totally humiliated?
Two days ago he was acting all clever accepting pats on the back from his audience by claiming this months Nationwide would be down and houses 50% off by Christmas.
He needs some big red shoes and a spinning bow tie.

Aberdeen City and surrounding Aberdeenshire were the strongest performing areas in the third quarter, with annual growth around 8%. Aberdeenshire benefits from the lowest unemployment rate of all Scottish authorities.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Two blips of less than 1% in 19 months, where all the other months were rises?
One swallow does not a summer make.
You really are desperate. Some people really need to learn when and how to face up to it and say "We got it completely wrong". It's one of those lessons you learn as you go through life.0 -

Yeah of course.
So the bailiffs bit was just an oversight.
I'm sure the posts about your overdraft were just silly jokes. The posts about being unable to sell your house for months were a laugh, and then the worries about having to take a tenant with a 10 yr old labrador cos you are "reasonably desperate to get someone in" were simply a fine jape.
As for when you're talking about your rent.... well you use that word but you meant mortgage payment.... no wait... you don't pay that you're mortgage free..... you mean your council tax.... no wait you forgot to pay that.... you meant your money for fizzy pop.
If you disagree with people say so, but please stay away from fairy tales. We have enough "home owning, mortgage free, bin-lid banging frothers" already.0 -

Ah the dangers of being honest on an internet forum. You leave yourself open to people searching through every post you have ever made to make up for the fact they have a micropeni5. Good stuff, keep it up.Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
