    I like those "seasonally adjusted" prices, can't they fooking post real figures and if in some month prices are much lower than usual (due to "seasonality") then at least people would know when to buy houses and when to avoid!

          As long as they are not holding cash. Gold Price Chart - Live Spot Gold Prices - BullionVault.com

          Presumably those house costs are not real ones either, and inflation will be ripping in to the real cost of a house at more than that rate.
