How come you never posted this when it came out on twitter a few days ago? Oh yes it only had a minus figure in front of it and no year figure was mention. If it had been a positive you would have started a thread about it like you did for the previous month.
The 1.1% is the same as the previous month so is not up.0 -

Haha. The underlying percentage is the same but the price will be up.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

..which is possibly the most hypocritical post I've ever read.
BTW looks like last month must have been revised down to -0.6 from -0.3 too. Annual is unchanged of course since prices were falling then too.0 -

Becuase I learnt from yourself, and took it from their twitter blog...which you do when it's positive.
It doesn't have the figures for yearly, only monthly, therefore, I can't include it.
Where are YOU getting the 1.1% figure from considering the data release isn't out yet? Jumping the gun?0 -

Not hard to work out.
No, but it's hard to conclude it's 1.1%.
Unless you want to show me. YOY, worked out, is 1%.
1.1% was last months yearly figure. Let's be honest, was a quick glance not taking any notice of the months being calculated, resulting in a minor error....that minor error then leading to a small trip for Hamish.0 -

Yes, you are right. I was using the HPC data (Here http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/indices-land-registry-national-monthly.php), showing 159,999 for october. Easier data to access. Must have been revised.0 -
Sigh. something as small as 0.3% in either direction is meaningless --- as are MOM figures.
Deal in YOY figures and fluctuations of at least 0.5% in any direction. Anything less isnt worth the time needed to type it, or read it.
As for me .... Im just really bored today0 -

I refer you to posts 2 & 4.
I understand you can be bored when you see threads like this.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Noise.......IveSeenTheLight wrote: »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:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.
