    I thought month of month figures were noise?

    Unless of course they are rising it would seem.

    To be fair he also gives the y-o-y figure which is flat.

    not, as is customary on this forum, in the topic title.

    a better title might be:

    Halifax November: + 1.0% MoM; -0.7% QoQ; -0.0% YoY.
    FACT.
  • not, as is customary on this forum, in the topic title.

    Customary?
    You better tell your matey Graham, who fails to mention it both in topic title and opening post.

    Think the BoE will be tempted to enlarge the scheme? If they can help push through 95% LTV at sub 4% rates, transactions should recover substantially and prices could return beyond peak nationwide, not just London and SE where a chronic property shortage has already ensured this.

    I don't know, I'm not sure what it is. They hate it over on hpc.co.uk as if it were a poison or unsightly blemish though.

    I think there is no doubt that people who tried to play the market by STRing have lost out. I have not heard of one credible case of anyone saying they have done well out of this strategy.

    Nevertheless, home owners whove been striving on negative or low equity since buying at boom prices arent exactly winners either.

    The only people sitting pretty are those privileged to have bought when prices were cheaper , who own outright, or those of the BTL persuasion.

    In general high housing costs continue to be a millstone around this countries neck.

    3 month on 3 month (Halifax's preferred measure) is down 0.7%.

    Year-on-year (my preferred method as it directly compares like with like) is flat.
    :doh:


    Year on Year = -1.3%


    Not flat but down again for another year.

    Not if the year on year figures are wrong and actually down.

    Doubt it, this leaves the lender with not inconsiderable risk.

    You still don't have a clue, do you?

    2011 at an average of £160,879.
