    Some are "luckier" than others. The ones that do well are the ones that work with the cards they are dealt. Always been the same. Suppose you could always hope for a world war or something.

    Plenty of those born after 1964 have bought houses, just ask yourself why you are not one of them.

    I am one of them.

    Your £45k drop was for 3 bed semi detached (no link to discuss)

    Your £60k drop was not defined by property type, just Edinbusgh City Centre.

    Yet still very clearly not the monthly ROS figures you were shoe horning into someone elses conversation Light.

    As, again quite clearly, the figures you were refering to contain no more than the blunt overall averages. :)

    Incidentally, city centre is a property type. City centre property.
    If you don't like it, you should petition the producers of the statistics. ;)

    As you also referenced myself who has quoted, linked and used ROSEA figures, it's sensible to ask you to back up your figures, which you have classcally failed to do yet again.

    :rotfl:Go on light. Whats the only other index we've ever discussed on those occasions you decide its time to "Go Edinburgh". You must remember the multi thread multi page epic when you originally decided (amusingly) that Columbo/Rinoas already discredited Edinburgh obsession was worth picking up running with.

    The great crash that never was is over before it even started. Bears it's time to dig deep for yet another months rent.

    Because I got lucky. I consider the system to be unfair.

    Imagine that, empathising with other people less fortunate than myself.

    Even better if you join up with Joguest and say that you would be happy if house prices dropped 90%. That would even up the playing field somewhat.

    This is the worst of all worlds. House prices are falling but disenfranchised FTBs still have little hope of getting on the ladder.

    I would rather prices dropped and enabled people to get on the ladder than this slow death by mortgage and housing scarcity.

    Is this a fact ..... or just your personal opinion?
  • I thought this was good for perspective, rates in Australia
    National Australia Bank Cuts Variable Mortgage Rate 20 Bps
    SYDNEY (Dow Jones)--National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB) only passed on 20 basis points of the Reserve Bank of Australia's 25-basis-point interest rate cut to mortgage holders on Wednesday.

    The bank said it has the lowest standard variable rate of the four major banks at 7.47%.
