This one clearly shows the London bears this year were hideously wrong and if anyone acted upon this misguided advice, would have just got royally stuffed.

30 listings for walthamstow today (supply up)
4 reductions (not selling)
2 failed sale (can't sell)
None of this is showing falling prices - it's noise and it's confusing you.
They clearly didn't get the memo on Douglas Avenue in E17 (the last street on Righmove with a sale 25th July). Achieved highest ever sale price on the street and enough recent sales to show an upwards trend.

Prices may fall, moderate or crash but according to all selling indices they're up since April. Maybe it's your analysis that's flawed?0 -
