Welcome to the CUK Dragon's Den

Classic
From someone who can't tell the difference between real price rises as shown in DP's Nationwide graph and absolute value as shown in the BBC article.
Please do carry on making an arse of yourself

Actually that example was the November 2005 publication of the Nationwide document DP produced.

You couldn't make it up, chump.

Yes do you actually understand what that example shows?
Or do you still think and I quote "Property prices rise on average 100% every 8 years "
I refer the honourable readers to the last few posts and rest my case.
Blimey, competition for top of the CUK village idiots club is fierce these days. You've just deposed Cybercretin from top spot.

I wouldn't dream of stealing your thunder as you and your ilk jostle for the dunce's hat. My role is just to clarify who the winner is at any given point in time.

Sas, I don't think you understand statistical modelling. You may claim to, but you don't. All the long term real house price trend displays is a definedfigure on long term analysis of the market. It does not give you a true indication of a percentage increase unless you bought the property when the long term real house price trend intersected the average house price and you sold when the long term real house price trend intersected the average house price. If I bought a house in 1995 and sold it in 2005 I would have made a return that is not current with the long term real house price trend. If I bought a house in 1980 and sold it in 1987 then I most probably would have got a return as predicted by the long term trend. It is a good indicator of what I should expect to achieve, but will most probably not be anywhere near.

DP described it beautifully with his squiggly line theory. You just talk crap. Perhaps I would have phrased it better by stating that my portfolio has shown an average increase of 100% over 8 years however, that figure will most likely decrease with the current market but will recover and I still expect to have made 300% by the time I sell which will be circa 2016-2020 for my current portfolio dependant on the market.

You’ll forgive me if I’m a bit wary when you start quoting numbers.
