The price of the average house has gone up 2k, therefore affordability is worse. That's just common sense. A graph doesn't graph common sense.Just to confirm, you are saying that affordability is NOT better than just about any time in history bar a few years at the absolute trough in the 90's, because this month the price went up 2k?Graham_Devon wrote: »No. Not better than last month.
Care to recap for the benefit of the forum what you're on about? We're all agreed that this month "Affordability is better than just about any time in history bar a few years at the absolute trough in the 90's", right? It's just that you replied to that sentence saying "No it isn't".This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

At least we're not talking about the Halifax figures showing a YoY increase of 2%.
