    Apparently, the rise wouldn't be celebrated in such style?

    I could have made several different threads.

    Instead, you carried it over to several existing ones instead.

    Such excitement that I said next leg down is underway, and a predicted rise on halifx happens...

    Next leg down is still underway. Clinging on to one months figures (which is usually called noise) to try and refute that is just desperate.

    I realise it's entertaining several of you and your all rolling around laughing, but the rest of us can still see outside of one months expected rise on one index.

    This is all just a little silly. Though i understand why people feel the need to grab the tiny opportunity they have.

    Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist, said: "We do not believe that prices are set to fall sharply over a sustained period. Interest rates are likely to remain very low for an extended period, which will continue to support the improved mortgage affordability position for homeowners."

    The start of the next leg down for sure...:rotfl:

    Hmmmmm, who to believe -

    Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist who does it for a living

    or

    Graham Devon and Dirk Rambo

    Hmmmm.

    It is happening.

    Are you denying house prices are falling, on the basis of one months figures on one index, which we all knew would rise, and all knew why it would rise?

    Come on, enter discussion, or at least try.

    If you do not wish to enter discussion, why thank posts from really2 this morning complaining that it's always made into bear/bull fights, when since then all you and really2 have tried to do is create spats?
