Regional House Drops

Around your way...
However, the North West appears to be taking the brunt of the falls.
And a nice little graph thing of percentage falls since peak in 2007 nationwide:
So the worst affected are:
- Northern Ireland - 46%
- Wales - 10/11%
- East Anglia - 10%
- Scotland - 8%
Best performing areas:
- London - 3.5%
- Outer Met - 5%
No area has reached peak, on nationwide levels.

So the average house price, nationwide (bar Aberdeen I guess before I get told off) has fallen in real terms YOY.According to the Halifax House Price Index, a monthly survey conducted since 1983, the average house price fell 3.6 per cent in September. Current prices stand 2.6 per cent above levels of a year earlier compared with the latest reading for the Retail Price Index of 4.7 per cent.
But a look at regional data from Halifax – which were last updated at the end of the second quarter in June – shows just how patchy the fuller picture is. For example, average house prices in north-west England have fallen quarter on quarter in every single quarter, bar one, since the first three months of 2008. The buyer of an average home there in 2007, purchased with a typical 10 per cent downpayment, still owes more than their property is worth.
Prices in Yorkshire and Humberside began falling in the last three months of 2007 and fell in all but two of the following 10 quarters. There, too, a buyer of an average home in 2007, with a 10 per cent deposit, remains under water.

As I keep saying, you cannot trust the figures of lying thieves.
The "rise" since 2009 was really a "stabilisation" and the current "stabilisation" is really a fall.
And prices will continue to fall for the foreseeable future."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

False.
They are using the quarterly breakdown from June.
Scotland has just reached a new peak in August.

Graham...... Please. Just stop, you're humiliating yourself again.

Not on a nationwide level, it hasn't.
Again, you are using a different set of figures. What's the point?0 -
