Gosh. He's still at it. :rotfl:
You seem to have posted the answers in advance of your question.
Tedious in the extreme.
In any event, do you want to know whos been frothing about Q2 ASPC figures.
Take a guess.

Ha ha. Whuppa!
He does of course insist that the new peaks aren't due to statistical skew.
You may want to have a word with him about that.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »There's only one person crowing about these figures and it's you.
Poppycock. Aside from the rather amusing fact that I've provided the evidence you asked for to support a claim I never actually made, again you’re being quite dishonest light.
I remember you on a number of "new peak" discussions.
You know full well what went on.
Shock horror here you are discussing ASPC Q2.

Now why wouldn’t I be able to accept a comparison between two simple numbers.
You’re not making any sense Light.

I’ll say it again. Wildly fluctuating peaks and troughs do not typify stagnation.

Of course, YOY for most property types in aberdeen the trend is down.
I refer you to my OP.

Incidently, the ROSEA does provide an easy downloadable excel timeline for the whole of Scotland.

Okay, they're broadline averages but here's Aberdeen
and here's Edinburgh

Thanks for, yet again, posting the over all averages we've been busy confirming can be quite meaningless since 2007. :rotfl:0 -

Unfortunately the ROSEA quarterly data only goes back to Q4 2007, but nonetheless
What is you context and analysis on the breakdown statistics shown in graphical form?IveSeenTheLight wrote: »
I'm aware of this.
Sadly this doesn't contain the breakdown of property types.
If someone wanted to create a graph for those, they'd have to methodically pick through years of reports, compiling the data. Someone would have to be seriously compelled to want to spend the time doing that kind of an exercise.
Yes. They'd have to be quite seriously compelled indeed.:rotfl:0 -

Thanks, that wasn't so hard was it.
So one poster crowing about the ASPC Q2 rises.
What was it you said about the 70% club being a sole representative?
I think you'll find I've referenced the ROSEA figures which in my opinion have better data.
I also was open to discussing data from other areas.
No crowing from me
I’ll say it again. Wildly fluctuating peaks and troughs do not typify stagnation.
I would have though that was obvious.
To assume these peaks and troughs are hard facts to be taken as gospil.
You then claim the "new peaks" are statistical skews. (nothing about the troughs being affected similarly)
Which is it?
Can you not comprehend that in a small transaction data where the index is not mix adjusted or repeat sales regression, that the monthly / quarterly releases are affected by the variation of the methodology?
Can you not see that these wildly fluctating figures vary about a centre point over the last few years?
Do you really believe these are hard fast facts (rampant HPI and crash territory)? It's quite a black and white world your protraying.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.

Of course, YOY for most property types in aberdeen the trend is down.
I refer you to my OP.
Nice change of wording.
whilst the data shows three out of four property types have reduced, your original premiseWe can safely conclude that for most people in most property types in most areas of aberdeen prices are dropping.
Is factually incorrect.
With detached, semi-detached and flats all showing decreases YOY and with the detached and semi-detached being of the higher individual value, it requires a far larger number of terraced properties
to return a YOY positive figure.
From the data more properties are showing rises than falls.
Indeed I pointed this out to you previously with the QoQ data.
P.S. 348 is a lower number than 995IveSeenTheLight wrote: »
Actually, the data shows that : -
153 Detached fell on average £9,893
195 Semi detached fell on average £2,328
348 Aberdeen City Properties fell on average £5,653
370 Terraced rose on average £12,782
625 Flats rose on average £4,522
995 Aberdeen City Properties rose on average £7,593
Whilst we cannot implicitly define that most properties in most area rose, the data certainly point to that as opposed to the OP's blanket statement:wall:

3 out of 4. i.e. "most". Yawn.

So we're agreed on most property types then. :TIveSeenTheLight wrote: »From the data more properties are showing rises than falls.

:rotfl:Back to QOQ data again.
Unless of course its the ASPC quarterly data. Then your less interested.

Oh dear Geneer. Wasn't your OP about 'most people' in Aberdeen?
Actually Rob it was about "most people in most property types".
Given that there was 1276 sales in aberdeen, only 353 of which are terraced properties (the only type rising on average YOY), both phrases appear to be true.
BOOM. HEADSHOT!0 -

As previousy noted in this very thread a phrase intended to parody Hamishes constant refrain. I do look forward to you and light pulling up your pal the next 30 times he uses it
I'm glad you have realised that your OP is wrong.0 -

Any particular reason that you're choosing to talk about mean property prices rather than the median?
