    I bet a lot of people will just leave their house on at the same price and ignore low offers.

    Where I look, even houses that have reduced by 10% are still not selling and those that havn't reduced just look increasingly silly.

    Looking at your posts, it seems you may be a little simple.

    And falling house prices are of no use when the people that most need the falls can't get mortgages.

    And looking at your last post I can see that you are a poster of massive intellect - not.

    calculating sales prices off a small volume of sales data will skew the results.
    do you not see that?

    It doesn't skew the data, it means it's measuring something different.

    Two major factors are a play here. Firstly Halifax aren't providing as much of the product that they were to anyone anymore. Secondly, what little of that product is being consumed has been in the north of the country, where as we all know, most of the public sector are employed.

    25% of new mortgages, I think Generali said?
