    I find these people that insist stats and facts are pointless on a discussion board such as this very strange.

    Well this is were we differ in opinion then isnt it

    So was it a trick question or were you just trying to be clever, or had you misplaced the flowchart you were going to show me.

    There is no indication on that flowchart of when it was made, without the relevanta data i may or may not be able to draw my own conclusion if this is an average chart now or an average chart at the 2007 peak price.

    Average house prices where i live are quite a lot different than what some bank tells me the average price is anyway
    How do you know?
    You've looked at 2 or 3? Maybe more?
    Feel free to publish your data so we can agree with you

    Hang on, let's just clarify this amazing piece of information. You're saying, and stop me if I'm wrong, that house prices around your area are not exactly the same as the national average house price? Are Reuters aware of this groundbreaking piece of news? Do you need us to put this on to the wires? Are the nationals aware that their front page may need to change so late in to the day?


    Its funny Cleaver, but you appear to have attracted the blessing of a fair number of bulls with this gem (For example good old Hamish).

    Which is strange, because the same posters do have a strange tendency to make more of those high level blunt averages than is justified, particularly in relation to their own neighbourhoods.

    Interesting.

    Don't forget camouflage Hamish.
    As in throwing about accusations whilst demonstrably engaging in those activities yourself. :D

    (though astonishing lack of self awareness might be another explanation)

    I think the position of the bears/bulls is currently that the bulls are saying stagnation whereas the bears are saying crash, yes?

    So the question isn't where is the spring bounce, it is where is the crash.


    No, I think anyone with sense is saying stagnation. Anyone saying crash is hopeful and anyone saying boom is a moron.

    Anyone saying boom is well beyond moron, boom is off the agenda for quite some time, except in the asylums
