Mmm... but the range is very different - 1975-2006 v. 2001-2007
Kindly crop the first chart to suit My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
...and neither the BofE nor the fed (in my opinion) are done raising rates. i know it might sound odd me thinking the fed raising rates, but i think the markets are underestimating just how strong inflation actually is. mind you, wall street doesn't seem worried, does it; this market is on steroids at the moment...hope everyone is enjoying the weather BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON? OR THE MORNING? OH, FORGET THIS MALARKEY!

Are you sure? The way I read the USA graph's headings is that those figures are annual percentage increases/(decreases), not prices.the first one is house prices in Britain the second in America
That is, it shows a slow down of growth and then a reduction in house prices of about 1-2%pa to Q1 2007.0 -

Indeed. Also, affordability and demand are not really represented. It would be nice to compare the same thing (the same index), or prices from two different lenders (one US, one UK), also salary information, immigration stats, and so on for the same period.0 -
