Right, that's it then.
Back to where we was.
HPC cancelled. As I said at the time. My house never dropped 1 pence.
Sat it out. Won.
End of. Goodbye HPC losers. :beer:
HOUSE prices have gone up by an average 0.5 per cent this month – the ninth rise in a row – as figures today suggest confidence in the market is at its highest for years.
Homes across England and Wales are worth 3.1 per cent more than a year ago, says property analyst Hometrack.
In the past four weeks alone, the value of the average property has soared by £6,923, more than £200 a day.
A typical three-bedroom semi is now worth £252,418.
There is still such a shortage of supply – with buyers flooding the market thanks to the Government’s Help To Buy scheme – that sellers are almost always getting their asking price.
The proportion of the asking price achieved was 95.2 per cent in October, up from 94.7 per cent in September.
This is just half a percentage point off the record 95.7 per cent at the height of the property boom in 2007.

And that they are gullible and willing to pay a premium when there are soo many more equally capable products out there at a fraction of the price."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

A typical house is priced at £252 418. It isn't worth £252 418."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Hmmm, don't know about that.
We're on our third set of Android devices from work in 18 months.
They started out issuing cheaper ones, then more expensive, and now top of the range that are pretty much as expensive as Apple.
And they still have regular issues.
Whereas my personal Apple devices just work, perfectly, every time.“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.”
