I don't blame him for being coy with the data (the internet's full of nutters;)) but he seems unwilling to share even the most basic of data so it's difficult to work out so we are left with having to take his word for it.
Looking at the Edinburgh market averages (which obviously mean nothing) I'd say that in reality there would be little difference between anyone buying in 2007 or 2010. I also think he's confused himself by thinking that getting a good deal, which is great, is evidence of a market crash.
He's not that coy, someone's already worked out the exact property.
That's the problem with being smug and there being low transactions.
A property sale search highlights the property the only property that fits in the timeline.
We could disect the data even more, but I pity him as he's already taken a bit of a pasting.
It would be interesting however to research the local data and see if his 20% claim is viable or not.
You could have 2 properties identicle in design, next door to each other that could vary by 20% depending on the condition.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

So in one sentence you want to review the same meaningless statistics you've occasionaly been forced to admit are meaningless inbetween regularly holding them up and hooting about them as if they were meaningful.
In the next sentence, you're saying gosh, the averages might not be meaningful at all.
Flippit-floppity. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
So what you're really saying is there is absolutely no point in the BS timing game whatsoever. Which rather sounds like your singing my song.
Someone should have pointed this out to you before your strange year long obsession with Edinburgh and all things geneer lite.
Oh, hang on, I did.
Utterly delicious.
You care so very much.

are you joking, hes posted up his bank statment showing everyone who he banks with, who his morgage is with, which solictor he used, which removal company he used, when he completed, when his initial mortgage payment was and when the regular payments are made
hes also told us where he put the offer in, where hes from, how much he got off the peak price (20%)
hes even given everyone an idea of what he looks like on his picture and as others have said with the low transactions its fairly easy to work out which house is his
i mean i just think its a bit stupid to give that much away about yourslf on the internet when id theft is rife, in the name of proving to a bunch of people he doesnt even know that he bougt a house. if anything hes given too much away'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.'

Because I'm worth it.
Your desperate for someone to care.
So desperate to tell a near two year fallacy story.
You argue just to get a response.
How very sad.
Nevermind, well done, you (or is it your better half) have become owners and you will benefit from that in the long run, despite your ongoing beliefs:wall:

LOL, wait till I update the graph with your purchase date of Feb 2010.
Then you can tell me about the timings game.
Your almost as good as Michael McIntyre. Your comedy genius.
I don't think it would work so well on the telly though.
Two years to deliver a punchline that no one laughs at apart from yourself would not bode well:wall:

You are correct. It wouldnt have been any where near as much fun if my news had been quietly accepted. Happily you and your pals were all too willing to oblige. Because you care so very much.0 -

Say for instance you have a budget between £152,000 to £155,000. Would you look at houses in the region of £170,000 with a view it's a buyers market and houses might be over priced?0
