Nice ad hominem mcc, so do you now want to tell us whether you think 2009 was the bottom?
If you do, I'm not sure I understand what point you're trying to make. If you don't, I think you're wrong. See you in a couple of years for confirmation.0 -

Graham, novel thought, I know.....

I argue with what you say, most of the time you ignore my arguments though, granted it is difficult for you to argue against a lot of my points due to them being valid and not based on a graph from a random bank.0 -

I do.
I never get a response to the points. You simply ignore them.
You did on this thread. Even when asked by someone else if you were gonna answer, you ignored them.0 -

Thanks julieq for finding that post...... you beat me to it.
I am still predicting that figure.
I have never said when I thought the market would bottom out .......0 -

Anecdotal fairy tales are of no interest to me.
Land registry shows actual sales prices, and is not "a random bank".
Give us your area (third request) and I'll disprove your 20% falls in a year claims.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Nice one mcc, but in that case you're saying nothing at all. As your record on predictions is lamentable I still trust my judgement more. Sorry.0

No, I asked which point and got no response.
Ask again.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

that's a great thread - the usual suspects are still trying to link the average wage with the average house price and getting it horribly wrong.So here's what mcc was predicting in 2009...

2 years later and people are still having to explain to them that not everyone will earn enough to buy a house.
Page 6 is when the Devon bloke gets found out and tries to obfusciate his way out of taking his foot out of his mouth.0
