    What is all the arguing about. Of course there has been a spring bounce, Nationwide prices have gone up from January £161k to now £165k. That's springy enough for me. :j

    To be honest chucky at least graham gives it a better go than you.

    You I'm afraid are the king of squirming, twisting and avoiding.
    really, that's a bit cheap when he refused to answer the question and you've also avoided answering my response to your usual unintelligent post here:

    Well, you could equally say there is a spring bounce in terms of price, you just need to look at the NSA figures (1% last month).

    I think it does in terms of price but it is not strictly an increase (in that houses are worth more).
    I would say that equates more to the types of houses being sold, not that prices actually increased. (say more emphasis on detached, outdoor space etc.)

    I actually found out the other day that there isn't a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. :(

    Really2, I haven't actually disagreed with you. I've said I'm taking the pee. For every explanation of spring bounce there is, dependant on which bull is using the term, none of it has happened this year.


    I'm guessing the bulls are preparing for a spring flounce.
