Halifax Hpi September 2010 -3.6%

After a sudden and massive drop off a cliff moment of -3.6%, the figures this month can only be up (a little) to make everyone feel better about getting into more debt again & allow the BBC to ramp it like a horse in the final furlong.0

How interesting that after 33 pages ofbumping this thread, the tone is starting to turn in fear of the next months results:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't positive after a fall such as this one.
A negative after a fall of 3.6% in one single month....well, you'd never hear the end of it
+ 0.9% or sumut I'd guess. I've always been wrong though, so negative would be nice, just not expected0 -

Market is reliant on confidence of buyers. Little else.
A further slip could see a major downward revision.0 -
I predict + 0.8%0

Be interesting to see how a positive is celebrated.0

Oh it has to be a positive to help all of HBOS's interests eg their estate agencies etc. I would be very surprised if it was another negative. They have to paint a picture of a up-down market with nothing to fear if there are drops - and they hope people won't cotton on that overall there will be more drops than ups....0

I'm going more for the fact that if it dropped say 1.4%, that would be a 5% drop in just 2 months. Don't think we even saw that kind of figure in crash times.
Up to a 1% rise would bring it back into line with other measures, and would still be a drop of 2.6% over 2 months.
If it drops over 1% though, I'm having a field day!0 -

Presumably, not with nearly a month of bumping. Cant say I have ever celebrated any HPI release.0
