    How do you draw that conclusion? Saying that I'm quite happy but house prices have nothing to do with it.

    On HPC the guy who started the 'is prime London crashing?' thread in January is still providing evidence, as we head towards October, to support this. He doesn't seem to see the irony of a 10 month housing crash where prices have gone up by double digit percentages.

    The site was founded by people who STR-ed in 2002 to wait for the crash.....

    In London. :rotfl:

    It has since called 101 of the last 1 house price crashes, so at least they're consistent. :)

    OK, great, but your contention isn't about asking prices, supply, or time on the market. It's about sold prices, which have almost certainly increased since April.

    I'll ask you again: what would you accept as evidence proving that your claim is wrong now that your original benchmark of the August 2014 LR release has failed you?

    did i not say last quarter in a previous post?

    You're just in complete denial. Your analysis was flawed.

    given that asking prices are now LOWER that april
    and over 20% of listings have had a price CUT
    and properties are achieving a LOWER percentage of the asking price
    and supply is INCREASED
    in what way is it a costly error?

    If I offer you one apple in April for £100 but agree to let it go for £50 and it sells then ...

    In September I offer two apples for £90 each and I agree to let one go for £60 and one sells but I refuse to sell the second apple for any less.

    Which month would have been the better month to put in an offer to buy an apple ?
