Seriously.

Shall I go back to one of your posts from last year where you say "look, you can get a mortgage at x rate", copy it, quote it, and then say "ha, look, you are so wrong, you can't get a mortgage at that rate".

I won't....as when you said it, it was true. No point me trying desperately to make out you are saying it now, is there.

Yet, in, what I can only assume is sheer desperation, you are trying to make me look silly for saying house prices in Nov 2010 were falling.....and at the end of March 2011, Nationwide is up, therefore, I was wrong to say they were falling?

The sheer desperation is rather amusing.

Correct, the desperation to look at only one stat to suit your means is indeed deperate

But no doubt we'll see a fair comment from you stating that House Prices ARE rising

I didn;t say that you were wrong in November or whatever, but your keenes to jump stats to suit is the point I was making.
Once again you missed the point

You need to check your figures again.
I don't believe the QoQ figures need to be £3k increased in April to prevent going negative.

geneer - Once again prooved wrong.

So just YOY negative.
Fantastic. Hamishes favourite.

And Halifax? You didn't seem to have an opinion on that inevitability.
Presumably, once again, Geneers right.

Gotta say, its interesting that old lite only picked one item out of a handful of observations before unilaterally declaring that I'd somehow got it wrong.

Boy, I do hope he didn't immediately move on to pulling some one up about desperation in selective picking of only one figure.
Cos that really would be embarassing for him.

I see many of our bears are missing this morning.

We'd usually have a nice assortment of graphs and charts showing the state of the market by now, along with a few dozen gloating posts.

Yet strangely, this morning absolutely nothing. Complete silence.

I do hope they're OK....

Im ok so thanks for asking, bit silly to get worried by a minute increase or decrease in the average house price in my opinion when im seeing properties in my area being reduced over and over again and still not selling (20% reductions are the norm in my area in the last 12 months), so ill just keep waiting and then when i feel house asking prices in my area are close to what i would be willing to pay then i will start making offers:)

20% a year, very impressive. Why at that rate houses should be around 70% cheaper now than they were in 2007. Of course, they're not, and your claim is bullsh1t.

The biggest falls in the UK in actual selling prices over the last 12 months were in Northern Ireland, at 11%.

Asking price reductions are meaningless. Which is why property bee should come with health warnings for idiots.

Tell us which area you live in, and we can see for ourselves.
