    I think you'll find that I have agreed there is noise with monthly figures on rises as well.

    You never see me posting a thread about a 0.3% rise or fall..

    In fact I dont recall making any threads about monthly index releases ;)

    Big deal.

    At the end of the day homeowners will never allow prices to fall.

    Either pay the asking price or rent and pay somebody elses mortgage.

    Up to you but it's win win if your name is on the deed.

    When I buy property I always try to be polite to the sellers and offer them a bit more than the asking price, I thought everybody does this.

    Interesting.

    No mention of the year on year figure being up 1.1%

    Why is that Graham? ;)

    My feeling, FWIW, is that the gentle nominal fall in prices has turned into a gentle nominal rise. Add that to falling inflation and real (inflation adjusted) falls will have slowed markedly, albeit that real declines in house prices continue.

    And yet you're silent when prices rise.

    Interestingly, you're also silent when there is any positive economic news, yet on top note when there is something negative to report. It's almost as though you want the economy to do badly for reasons of your own....
