Pent Up Report post Posted March 30, 2011 I give up with predictions. But if it's 0% it will put the YoY down to -0.6% so any fall would be lovely. This index seems to have got behind Halifax so maybe a decent fall to catch up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repetitive bleats Report post Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) house next door but one to me just sold for a million. was bought for £675k in 2006... bought by a couple of 80 year olds who plan to use the 4 bedroom house as somewhere to stay by the seaside every couple of weeks. they have their main house in london but said 'the money was sitting in the bank doing nothing' he hates it as he can't get down the all the stairs to the front door without assistance but she likes it and he reckons it was 'cheaper than getting a divorce'.... would this skew the figures? its top end for this area. but it was bought for cash... edited to add something that annoyed me. they asked what i did and i told them i run two companies. they were impressed and told me i'd be buying somewhere like theirs soon then. i told them that would be very unlikely as i've missed the boat and wasted all my money setting up proper businesses that employ people and pay taxes etc. they shrugged and said that maybe i should try playing the lottery....

Now or never Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Couldn't give a shight about data any more; by the time we see real data it'll be too late! The fact is, house prices are shagged, employment/productivity is shagged, cost of living is shagged; our children's lives are shagged, everything's shagged (apart from Claire in work - ummmm) but that's life. Oh well I'm gonna forget all this data shight and have a ..........................w@nk! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Banner Report post Posted March 30, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if with 'adjustments' and 'revisions' it is positive. It would be perfect timing to support a 'spring bounce' . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
