I too agree. BUT, the rate of change is what makes this graph interesting.
Most wanted/thought/predicted (at least publicly) of a "gradual" fall, or a "gradual slow down".
Maybe even going static? I know alot of people claimed "Its going to go static for several years"
That would've shown this
Its the speed of the decline, rather than the amount.0 -
it would be interesting if someone could extrapolate from the Graph thus far where the trend will end .. At this rate a drop of 30% does not seem unreasonable now :eek:0

Seeing this I realise there will be a definite delay next month for the nationwide HPI figures, as their chief statistician will undoubtedly have to go out and buy a shiny new y-axis.
Question is, will he go for the bargain up to -10% axis, or try and avoid future purchases by biting the bullet and investing in a -20%er or even -30%er now? He might be able to save a few quid by cutting of at +12% at the top. I don't think that 14% is going to be needed for a good few years yet.
Or maybe, he may JUST be able to get away with this axis for another couple of months... A bit like those petrol stations that had a piece of paper with "1" written on it sellotaped to the price sign on the forecourt... after a few months it became clear prices weren't going back to double digits and they all invested in new wider signs....
