    problem singular?

    Well of course, there are posters who extrapolate the issue by missinterpreting the facts reported. ;)

    The problem with the article is that it is looking at a single month (4 weeks).
    It's prone to noise and is not meant to be extrapolated over a full year as you have done.

    Must be OK to extrapolate like this though the US do it with all their positive figures too.;)

    Prices going up is good for almost everyone.

    Speak for yourself, I am considerably better off with higher prices, it doesn't mean that I don't have sympathy for those priced out, but I am not going to booing the recovery (when it happens). Anyway it isn't as if I have any control over it.

    it makes no difference to me - I'll only realise this if I sell up and don't buy again so it means nothing.
