    So far? The average person who didn't buy in the last year or so :)

    No no, I meant who won the guessing game?

    STR is 'sold to rent' i.e. betting on price falls - a much maligned group on here until the last couple of months.

    I don't think anyone won. The size of the fall took everyone by surprise.

    Well done, neverdespairgirl.

    So what was the YoY fall?
    (And do I take it, then, that I lost?)

    It was 4.4%, and you guessed 1.5%, so you didn't win (-:
