Barring the unexpected this is going to be a significant report.
Apart from a +0.1% back in March Halifax, LR and Nationwide have been YoY negative for the year so far.
The surge in prices last year is now starting to drop out of the stats and where we previously saw red I suspect we shall now be seeing blue:

I predict a rise of between 0.1% and 0.3%.

Irrelevant. Some made up figure backed up with a report that bears no relation to whats happening in the world.0

Some old quotes will resurface showing how someone was wrong. Maybe a link to a HPC thread showing that "they're going mental over there".
Probably a comparison to how gold and silver have performed over the same periods.
Can't wait for 7am0 -
Lets play Nationwide bingo.
My vote is on 'low transaction levels'.0 -

Same old sh*t then mate0 -
Assume OP is right. Month change up 0.2% (say). That's £168,731 up to £169,068. So 1.39% up on the year, then. That's 3.9% up on end of 2010. Hoping this means 5% within M25, so can't complain at that, then. It will probably 'crash' up another 3% by year end with any luck.0

I am going to loose my bowels if I wake up tomorrow and find this is positive again.0

If you look at the chart in OP you will see that if its positive tomorrow then the rest of the year is going to be bleak for bears (prices plummeted from September 2010 until March 2011 so September to March are going to be increasing YoY positive barring something quite unexpected).0 -

Maybe buying now was a good idea for me after all!Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -

Did they?
Wasn't aware of any plummeting, and if any "bears" had suggested that, you'd be the first to correct them, and then link up to a post on HPC to prove your point.0
