    ESPC JAN 2011:-

    <LI style="MARGIN: 5px 0px">In the three months to January the average house price in Edinburgh stood at £214,222 following an annual increase of 1.1%.<LI style="MARGIN: 5px 0px">The rise in the overall average was fuelled by a change in the mix of properties selling, with larger homes accounting for a greater proportion of sales than normal. :rotfl:<LI style="MARGIN: 5px 0px">Comparison of ‘like-for-like’ prices for homes of similar size reveals that in most cases values are around 5% lower than 12 months ago.<LI style="MARGIN: 5px 0px">The number of homes for sale remains above historic norms allowing buyers more success in negotiations with sellers. Around three out of four Fixed Price sales over the last three months were completed for less than the asking price.<LI style="MARGIN: 5px 0px">The likelihood remains that prices will ease back by 3-5% in most areas during the first half of 2011 before levelling off later in the year.

    Oh. YOY. Spamishes favourite.
    -5% with -5% to come. Ouch. :T

    We already knew the monthly series reached a new peak, but geneer tried to write it off to statistical blips. :rolleyes:

    Oh yes. What a silly boy Geneer was.:rotfl:
