Sorry, but the record reflects babe.
And here you are "distancing" yourself from me yet again.
Again you lack the attention to detail.
I didn;t say I was distancing myself from you. I said I was distancing myself from your flirtations.
IT's the finer detail understanding that;s letting you down Geneer.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.
:wall:0 -
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:And my personal research shows that on average properties spent 174 days on the market?
Something you appeared to have no clue about.
But nice smokescreening.
Again the finer detail.
IT doesn't matter how long a property is on the market, it's how long you take to find a property.
I'm starting to understand why you've never bought. If it takes you "174 days" to buy a property, then most of the good ones will have left the market and you'll be left with the lower quality properties.Hey, before you yapped away, did you also notice that those "crap" 5 bedroom 1/2 million mansions "festered" for 209 days on the market?
Or that all property types of all costs are pretty much sitting, on average, for the same length of time.
Didn't think so. Should have done your "personal research" :T
I'm not personally researching the Edinburgh market.
I do no someone who put their flat on robertson avenues up for sale and it sold in two weeks.
If you'd waited the "174 days" you'd have missed out on that oppertunity.
Your reference to the 5 bed 1/2 million mansionson for 209 days is irrelevant. There will always be exceptions, properties considered to be over priced and you must remember the economic climate were in where banks and people are being more cautious.
I didn't realise you were in the market for 1/2 million propertyDoes rather suggest that you're little "could've bought in a week" fantasy is just that.
Again attention to detail. Where did I say "bought in a week"?
I did say that I've offered on the same day and concluded within the month.
It's not fantasy.
If you want to buy a property, you have to be ready and move swiftly to take best advantage.
If you've not done your research and are not ready, others more pro-active will be there to step in ahead of you.
Possibly another indicator why your 5 years in

If. zzzzzzzzz.
Not sure about that. Looking back on this thread you seem to have a fairly disproportionate interest in the Edinburgh market.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »I'm not personally researching the Edinburgh market.

Unless of course some bimbo had just made the incorrect argument that only the crap is sitting on the market that long. Then it would be highly relevant, and also quite amusing.:cool:IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Your reference to the 5 bed 1/2 million mansionson for 209 days is irrelevant.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »There will always be exceptions, properties considered to be over priced and you must remember the economic climate were in where banks and people are being more cautious.

No. But you can safely assume that I'd be looking at something in the range of “all property types of all costs”.
Did you miss that bit?IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Again attention to detail. Where did I say "bought in a week"?

Oh. Im sorry. You didn't buy in a week.
Apparently, you bought in a day. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Fascinating.

Don't you mean 3 years into the crash you failed to see coming? :T0 -
House prices in the north-east are rising by nearly £1,000 a month despite falls in the rest of the UK.
Latest official figures released by the Registers of Scotland (ROS), where all sales must be registered, show that the average cost of a home in Aberdeen has jumped £11,374 in the past year – a rate of £947 a month.Property values in Aberdeenshire have also continued to rise, at a rate of almost £600 a month, adding £5,500 to the average home in places such as Gordon, Kincardine and Deeside, and Banff and Buchan.The number of houses being sold in both areas has also increased by about 10% – but nationally it is a different picture. House prices fell by 0.1% in November, Halifax said, and prices in the three months to November, at £164,708, were 0.7% lower than a year earlier, which was their first annual decline since November 2009.David Geddie, a senior residential partner at Aberdeen-based solicitors Simpson and Marwick, said 2011 could see prices rise further in the north-east, regardless of what happens elsewhere.
He said: “With oil at $90 a barrel, I have high hopes that the market here will be much better than the rest of the UK next year, because we have a micro-economy with the energy industry.”Volume of sales increasing, house prices increasing.Excellent news all around.
“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
