Can someone help me out with this one, I'm no rocket scientist but I've never had to ride the big yellow bus.

Article title
Northern Ireland house prices on rise, 'but supply remains a problem'
First sentence of article
House prices in Northern Ireland continued to rise during February, according to a survey of estate agents published today. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said the number of sales was also up - and members expected the trend to continue.
Last sentence of article
Meanwhile, Ulster University's house price index last month said average prices were £150,778 - a decrease of 1.3% compared to the same period last year.

A bit like this one, also on BBC, now how could she post photos to Facebook but had no phone signal to call for help ? wi fi on Divis ?

On the house prices thing averages in NI are always subject to stupid figures because of low sample number, eg sell 9 @ £100k and 1@ £1m and you suddenly have an average of £190k following month have the expensive one at £2 m and you have an average of £290k . The average figure is easily thrown by 1 or 2 big sales, banks and lenders have little faith in those published averages as a means of determining whether prices are rising

Prices are collapsing across the board
What we have is a government and some rich individuals who are trying to reinvigorate prices through the media in order to get out

Bad time to buy
Great time to sell your extras (if you can. You may be too late)

Zoopla showing property in almost every region of the UK staying on the website longer and having increased discounts

The estate agent gig combined with the PR campaign are propping up house prices.
Some people may think they're getting bargains but a crash is coming. Soon

We could have had a 3 or 4 bedroomed house on the railway track side of the Lisburn Road for tens of thousands less than the flat we got up the street opposite.

We were after a holiday home and not an investment as such though.

I've been a landlord and didn't much like it.

I'd say spend your hard earned cash on something flash.

Very true
But for people wanting a home to live in

I'm sorely tempted by the 4 bed flat on the Albertbridge Road for 45,000 as a crash pad

Choose any Lisburn Road beyond Lisburn and you'll be grand.

Zoopla Hoopla Rusty, that isn't evidence.

In any event, we're talking NI here, not "the whole of the country" more "a hole of a country". >yahoo
