apom Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I thought this would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STR2004 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Don't you need another option that says the third house (at 290K) is obviously overpriced? In your scenario this would obviously be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apom Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 I thought about that. But essentially it reflects on how these figures are reported.. all is good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Or a fourth option - "the last house like this sold at ... on dd/mm/yy we do not have sufficient information to estimate the current value."

apom Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 That could work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneer Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The second is a loaded question. Who voted that the BBC should simply be mouthpieces.....surely taking the contrary view is just meant to antagonise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyShears Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have asked on another board whether the average rightmove prices include those properties priced at £999,999,999 or similar. So far no answer. Billy Shears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have asked on another board whether the average rightmove prices include those properties priced at £999,999,999 or similar. So far no answer.Billy Shears I shall answer yee question: On previous righmove reports it had this declaration at the bottom: "To calculate average asking prices for a given week or month, Rightmove.co.uk takes the initial asking price for all new instructions on the site during the period, but excluding any properties that are atypical*. * in practice this means unusually expensive properties that are likely to distort the data In the latest report it does not have this declaration. This declaraion was last seen on the September release. I asked rightmove if they have changed their methodoloy and was told "no". But they never explained why the comment was removed. It does make you wonder why they removed the comment if nothing has change?!?! Raises unnesessary suspicion me thinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The second is a loaded question. Who voted that the BBC should simply be mouthpieces.....surely taking the contrary view is just meant to antagonise. Well I'm a contrarian I think. It's not biased to report what rightmove say. Bias is NOT reporting what bears say along side it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
