    Just seen this one, I could hardly believe it.

    Price changed: from '£410,000' to '£325,000'
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Average stats would be better.

    I.e using a mean or median change would be best. Some of these houses are like the 99.9% of the 'distribution' (stats word lol)... So seeing one overpriced house drop 80k ...maybe a bit misleading.. it was probably over priced by 60k to start with.

    In Bristol I'm seeing plenty of 10-30k drops across the board. It's an absolute bloodbath at the moment.

    Mean and Median stats for my analysis is available in the 4 week 'roll up' thread (with graphs) over on ghpc.

    I'd be interested in what analysis tools you have created to help you. I might have a whirl at making one in matlab at some point. have to analyse the property bee output file.

    it's all done in excel via the CVS exported from property bee, with a a little bit of vba voodoo

    i see, im not too hot on excel i love programming in matlab : though so might either try and make a matlab exectuable.

    The sad thing about propetru bee is i have to update the area im checking myself :P. If i could just schedule it to check my area every day at 1am or something i'd love it to bits :P

    that's doable with a bit of macro recording

    Macro recording...spits in disgust.

    Excel VBA is pretty good. I used to use Matlab and loved it. I use Labview now for most things. You can download VB.net for free from Microsoft too.
    Happy chappy
