for Hamish Aberdeen up 4.5%.

Yes, I saw that, thanks.

Only up 4.5% so a bit disappointing really, but it was a tough snowy winter so it'll have to do.

I'd expect better by the time we get to summer though. Aberdeen's doing quite well at the moment. :beer:

The average cost of a property now stands at £146,253 - almost £12,000 less than at the end of 2010.

Ah. You mean the skewing effect of the blunt averages as demonstrated in all of the measures .

It is what it is I suppose.
But not what you like to pretend it is.

Now, I asked you a question.
Are you going to tell us where your normal seasonal variations were before 2008?

Huh, that's kind of weird geneer, because I could swear you just started a thread celebrating a fall in those "skewed blunt averages"....

Let's see, what was it you said?

Ah yes.... "Och no! House Prices doon in most o' scotland"

So either "It is what it is", or "it's not what you like to pretend it is".... But it can't be both depending on whether the average prices are rising or falling.

Do make up your mind old bean....

Masked by the boom.

You see a similar pattern in the Nationwide national data.

Seasonal variations prior to the boom, rising prices for a decade mask the seasonality, and then seasonal variations reappear after the boom.

I can't be bothered studying the graph, but I'd also be interested in knowing how the latest reported drops compare to recent years. I can believe there have been drops at this time of year in recent years, but these numbers seem quite large to me. In fact, they are pretty surprising in what appears to have been a pretty flat market in which the govt cuts hadn't really even kicked in yet, and where IRs remained at an all time low.

Yes, the government cuts are what we are waiting for now (we've had so many other triggers and now we are left with the cuts and the interest rate rises).
