    Why is the CMLfigures so different from Halifax's and Nationwides?
    Is it because they all massage the figures, but haven't yet got theirs heads around to massaging them in sync with each other? Or maybe they do, and just have a few minor inaccuracies to make them look more plausible.

    As you are the keeper of stats on here what I would really like to see would be the predictions regarding house prices from these three organisations at the beginning of this year.

    Can you fix it for me?

    Nice update, though I'd expect the curves to level off (at ~10%) in the next couple of months. Can anyone post a pic of the real cost of houses - that curve's gonna keep on falling.

    Well obviously !!... I mean its clear to see that two more squares to the right and prices will be level !!! :think:

    They need to extend the y-axis downwards soon.

    They've been doing that each month since the beginning of the year - back in Feb the graph only went down to zero.

    I had a look at the statistics from CML

    I made up a graph for it and it is not showing the drops as shown in the previous few posts.

    Why is the CMLfigures so different from Halifax's and Nationwides?

    Hmmm... let me see...

    Shall we have a whip round and buy them a new one?
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    1. I am not the keeper of stats. I only post for everyone to review and make their own decisions

    2. Predictions - do you think these three have a better crystal ball than many on here?

    3. My name is not Jim'll Fix It

    Two more squares tot he right and the graph will start to be comparing depreciating house prices year on year with each other rather than against an appreciating house price.

    The graph represents YoY difference and the OP reckons that in a couple of months the YoY depreciation will level out at 10%, not that average house prices level off, but that average house prices drop at 10% per year

    Eh? The graph doesn't show prices. It shows rate of change of prices.

    I don't know about you, but I just had a very embarrassing experience at work. Off to change my pants
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
    "I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.
