Ouch!

Hm, if the house prices keep falling like that, maybe I could actually affort to buy a flat in one or two years...

You're being a bit naughty there, in common with everyone else who talks about house prices. Why would I want to see a graph of the derivative of prices?

Um, ouch!

Indeed, the peak was in April, not October. You can get pretty interesting graphs out of the Land Registry. Here's the prices for places around me. Annoyingly, they only have up until August.

The line will go above zero eventually.

At least you didn't buy shares! :)

Feeling your pain...we bought in April 2007

So it's all your damned fault then is it? I remember you saying when you got your flat that now the housing market was going to crash. Damn you!
Realistically though, the thing with buying property is it's all relative. When you sell, the house that you buy will be cheaper too.

Heh. On the plus side, Ruth and Dave were rather holding out till the market crashed. So there you go.

Has you flat really gone down in value? Flats around here haven't

Maybe if you secretly bought a flat in Brum, or Northern Island. But central London ... naaaa


Mr X - hope for a crash that hasn't happened -

I think they've dropped a bit around here - 10% maybe. It's hard to tell with how slow the market is moving at present, and how randomly some people are marking up their 'pre-haggling' asking prices.
