    Kinda makes you wonder how those non-average peak buyers are holding up.

    Looks like the "soft landing" has been well and truly redefined amongst the bullish fraternity. :D

    There are no numbers because... I'll say it slowly as you obviously missed it in the wall of text in the OP.

    They. Have. Deleted. It.

    Their technical ineptitude meant that the search was terminally ill anyway.

    Because you look stupid being a bear and get "humiliatingly" banned for any sign of being a bull. (The capacity for independent thought being the main sign)

    Not sure I follow you. Winter 2008 Average £165k. Winter 2010 Average£165k. But this IS my last post to you, it gets embarrassing putting you down all the time.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I would say "my mistake" but this is far to funny an outcome.

    Of course it was in fact winter 2007 that you joined GHPC to tell us how house prices would never fall.


    I'm not surprised you're "going dark" pimp.
    Most people would pull their necks in after trying to get away with that one. :D

    House prices peaked at the beginning of 2008 at £186k (all figures based on LR). Over the last 3 years inflation has averaged 3.01%. This means that for that house to maintain its value it would need to be worth £203.5k now. The average house was £165,505 at the end of October. This means the average house is worth £40k less (in real terms) than 3 years ago. Prices are still falling, and inflation is higher than the average of the last 3 years.

    I've never been overly persuaded by the idea prices would halve from peak (or similar). I do think the combination of inflation and price drops will knock another 5-15% off house values in the next year (based on LR figures Nov-Nov). This would mean that houses would drop to the equivalent of £140-155k
    Having a signature removed for mentioning the removal of a previous signature. Blackwhite bellyfeel double plus good...
