So sales being up a whole 5% gives you a semi eh? Hate to think what would happen if prices had actually risen.0

Prices have risen.
Land Registry, ONS, and Acadametrics are all showing year on year price rises.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

And naturally you 'forgot' to mention Halifax and Nationwide - you know the most widely reported indices - which of course both show annual falls, just as nollag (sibley, pricklepants or whoever) 'forgot' to mention that the 5% was referring to sales.

When does the money arrive in your bank account for this "profit"?
The house market is all relative so unless you're talking about an investment property actually the next house on the "ladder" is now even more expensive assuming the % increase is constant.Thinking critically since 1996....0
