If I knew how to copy them over here I would but as I can't I thought these two graphs were interesting:

The house prices versus average earnings must be skewed surely as there are so many more joint earners in households - no?

    Also interesting to compare the difference between real and nominal.

    Trajectory of UK house prices and UK GDP remarkably similar.

    It looks like we are now below trend and the markets bottomed out. Best tie to buy now before we head above trending again. ACT NOW.

    No thanks, i think ill just sit off and watch prices crash further.

    I might take an intrest if thousands of jobs appear overnight, but until then ill just keep saving by not buying.

    You strike me as quite the desperado.
