    I was rather wondering how your much crowed about "new peaks"
    :

    And I'd be prepared to bet they'll reappear this summer as well.

    Maybe. If the statistical skew effect kicks in again.
    It will still mean sweet FA.
    Just like it did when you were doing your snoopy dance last summer. ;)

    Don't worry, I'm a little busy at the moment but will update the graph I have of these facts and post for all to see.

    :rotfl:
    Then....

    Aberdeen. £176551. (Down £18000)
    Aberdeenshire. £181686. (Down £35000)
    Edinburgh. £203456. (Down £32000)
    Scotland. £147786. (Down £20000)

    Then....

    No, I just don't understand you or more to the point, no-one can have a reasoned debate or discussion with you.

    Time to honour you by putting you on my ignore (your the one and only in there) and joining the growing number who benefit from having geneer free discussions.

    Coincidence? :A

    One thing people do seem to be missing, or just ignoring maybe? is that sales appear to have fallen off a cliff.

    Can't be blamed on winter, as other winters have seen figures over 100% higher.

    Its probably due to the fact that the cat is out of the bag, joe public is now aware that house prices do in fact fall, dont know if thats the case with jock public, if its not then i hope they find out the news soon and save themselves a fortune.

    Hang on a minute ive just looked at them posts with the peak levels, wow they really are tanking arent they, looks like its worth the wait up there as well as around here:T:T:T

    Well the figures were even higher than now when prices WERE falling.

    Even Jan 2009 had higher figures.

    Wow. Those new peaks didn't last very long.

    Oh look, Edinburgh's all the way back to 2006 prices.
    I guess my opinion on UK house prices now count again.

    Who in their right mind gives a **** about Aberdeen?

    Most of all, who the hell wants to live there?

    This thread is uttery pointless in the grand scheme of things and is a vanity project for the wee scotsman.
