I find so many of the percentages, graphs and statistics confusing. Now, I know it could be me (but I don't really think that as I'm clever) but I think that some statistics can be calculated accurately - such as mortgages given - but others can't.

The house price falls are difficult to assess correctly. What a house is worth is such a 'how long is a piece of string'. I know they look at what houses sold for last year - but individual houses can be so different. I'm watching property in geriatrica-on-sea. Any property that has gone under offer there has been reduced by more than 10% or been put on the market at a reasonable price for now.

There are so many stats, at different times, or seasonally adjusted that it is difficult to get a clear "this is what's happening now". So you are constantly trying to keep a picture formed from all the bits of information.

Whenever I feel the need for some real evidence of the current situation I spend some time on Rightmove with Property Bee.

However, after many months, years even - of searching for every snippet of bear information I find it has got a lot easier to be a bear. No need to search anymore, every day another headline. Now I find myself looking for little crumbs of good news.

Could one of you clever graphy people put it on a graph showing the changes since 70s or 80s? A cheeky ask, but it seems to bring some of you such great pleasure, and I like the more long view graph a little more.

I like the graph a lot. It has a balance, a symmetry to it. You could not wish for a plainer example of "what goes up..."

Oh I agree, but I'm not looking for my graph pleasure to come from proving laws of physics, rather to shed some light in historical perspective on the housing market,;)
