Ahh, that explains the effort he went to with creating comic strips!

But with Characters like Hamish, they practically make themselves.

He has to have something..... the poor little boy has been delaying purchase in Edinburgh waiting for a crash since 2005.

Or indeed 2006. You must remember 2006 Hamish.
The economy collapsed and House Prices nose dived just the very next year! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Still, good to know you've actually been following the discussions on both sites mate.

You do appear to have a habit of disappearing just when they get interesting!

Some 28 day rolling ROS figures as of 29th of november.

Aberdeen City £182,376 £190,081 -£7,705 -4.1%
Edinburgh, City of £209,773 £219,848 -£10,075 -4.6%
Scotland £158,097 £159,951 -£1,854 -1.2%

Monthly figures pending. Stick or twist?:T


PS...so much for the "new peak" :cool:

P.s, so much for the 28 flash data.
Just one day on and the percentages have changed

http://www.ros.gov.uk/public/news/press_release_flash/28day.pdf

Aberdeen City £184,880 £190,124 -£5,244 -2.8%
Edinburgh, City of £222,039 £215,888 £6,441 3.0%
Scotland £159,384 £159,001 £383 0.2%

Most notably a £16,516 swing in one day for Edinburgh.

Best to stick to the monthly released figures.
They're noisy still and prone to the methadology, but not as noisy as the 28 day fluctuation.
Better still, extrapolate over a longer period and certainly stagnation (especially over the year) seems to be the actual situation

Do you think you're much different from Hamish?

Great, now geneer is going to view it every day until it goes back negative (possibly tomorrow) and we'll go through this crap again.

Well, the flash data appears to be released weekely ;o)
It just goes to show that the flash data is extremely noisy, especially with the ROSEA methodology and that a more stable, longer outlook needs to be taken

Actually, just one week on.
But yes, an astonishing change for Edinburgh at least.
Might be worth pondering that one!:rotfl:

That would appear to be the case. Well done you!

What you mean the monthly figures calculated with exactly the same methodology as the 28 day rolling figures?

Ah. I guess the monthly figures are more representative on account of how they........nope.....nope...you've lost me. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Although of course the "official" monthly figures can be just as noisy and unrepresentative.

It might lead someone to yodel from the top of the mountains about "New peaks" only to find it dissapear in comedy fashion just a few weeks later.

At least thats never happened to someone here...

Yep.

I'm also thinking that you're not much different from Hamish though. :beer:

You don't seem very well informed mate.
And slightly lacking in the analytical mind set.

Of course, I would agree that monthly released data is also noisy, hence why I've posted a graph so you can reflect over a longer period ;o)
