You can't and that's my point.
You can't see how you "love it" cos it agrees with your point of view but would be asking for a source which uses real data instead of silly opinions if it didnt tally with your view.

In fact, just what you're accusing others of.




Anyway, now you've thought about it are you really surprised homeowners expect their house to outperform the market?

Bit of a smoke screen there Jonny.

Neither event has yet happened. Thats not whats amusing GD.

Its the different interpretations of future events which tickles.
I have to admit, it made me snigger too.

But you are just making stuff up now to have a pop.

Sigh

If you like. You've clearly not got what I'm on about and I can see this developing into a GD/Really2, geneer/anyone else moment so I'll leave it there.

Quite clearly when I thanked that post, I had not researched the methodology.

And quite clearly you haven't researched this article either, considering you are asking me to give you data for a future point in time, which is impossible.

Nope, I haven't. You just had a general pop at me (the having a go that I find that people think their own houses are worht more than the rest of the street is just pure desperation, hence I knew you were having a pop), and then suggested I'd be jumping all over an article such as this and asking for the data.

There is no data. Therefore I wouldn't have done as you suggested.

And now, after having a pop, figuring out you are completely off the mark, you have decided thats enough for you, you are off.

I only ask because you seem to be slipping so well into a total stereotype, despite your recent arrival.

I'm neither a bull or bear.... So if I'm a stereotype for you then fantastic...
Like I have previously told you, I'm in the process of purchasing my first home, I expect house prices to go down in the short term and then settle and then probably rise again. I'm not particularly bothered if this turns out to be correct/incorrect as the house I'm buying was previously being rented for the same as my mortgage payment.... I don't plan on moving out of the property ever, unless something happens that I can't plan for.

I find you to be bitter, pedantic and boring, hence why I resort to speaking to you like a child.

You're stuck in a rented home paying off your landlords mortgage, So I suppose it's understandable.

Good luck with your house search :T

Yet again, you seem to be ignoring what the I highlighted, and the article.

What about this:


No one has so far discussed the article or it's contents. Just seen it, and tried to find any way to ignore it.

What will it go up to -0.2%

Graham it is a bit desperate for someone who always says how wrong forecasts are.

It's one index, one you like today for obvious reasons.
The news story was factually wrong, sorry if that spoiled things. I will leave it there so you can enjoy the story.

But you would never discredit this survey though would you?

RICS and Hometrak the new preference?

The Northern Bias thing back again? Haven't seen that one since the last falls

Wonder how this winter is going to go? This month, afterall, was pretty much peak buying season was it not?

Another survey which becomes correct when the shoe fits.;)

Oh dear!

Heres just ONE example, of quite a few, of you thanking one of the bulls for using the Hometrack figures. Generali suggested rose tinted glasses, Hamish uses Hometrack figures to "prove" his argument.

I thanked that post because Hamish accurately reflected the current state of the market, not particularly for the Hometrack data, which for that month did match other reliable information.

The reason I called Hometrack a joke is because I am aware it has revised up its average house price on 3 occasions (about 7% each time) due to it consistently underestimating the market.

Not surprising now ISTL has revealed the dubious methodology used.

I never said that did I.

I stated I liked the response, i.e. everyone elses house will increase 2.7% while mine will increase 3.3%.

I believe a survey not too long ago asked people whether they thought they were above average intelligence, and around 70% of people said that yes, they thought they were above average intelligence.

Excuse me, where am I asking you to give data for a future point in time?

I asked what your thoughts were on the stats (15 consecutive months or falls) given you and I now know a little more about the methodology?
