ziknik Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 This month there are 8 houses for sale (like mine, in my area and on RightMove) = 14% increase from the previous month 4 are Sold STC No Change 0 is Under Offer No Change 4 are For Sale 33% increase The balance is tilling towards lack of demand The mean asking price is 12.9% higher than I paid for mine. An increase of 0.5% on the month 3 Houses have sold in the last three months according to http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php The average sold price is 0.5% more than I paid. A 0.5% decrease on the month ============= An interesting month with asking prices increasing while supply is increasing. Sold prices are decreasing. Next month, I will be able to produce a QoQ comparison. I'm aware I've got a very small sample area and the data will be volatile - There's not really anything I can do about it except hope the volatility averages out over time.

It is good to become s solid expert on one area, and see how its gyrations compare with the index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupercal Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 You've inspired me to track a little more closely. I'll knock up some charts soon. Try and get over 35 houses in the sample. You can use the central limit theorem in your calculations and get some interesting stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziknik Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 It’s difficult for me to increase the sample size of properties on RightMove without including different types of house in the same area or the same type of house in different areas. Increasing the sample size in this way doesn’t really help me track the price of my house. There’s currently 8 houses on right move, and I have all the property bee data for them. I can produce charts of: Number of houses for sale (including No. for sale, No. SSTC & No. Under offer) Average time on the market (or time to go SSTC) Average Asking Price Can you think of any more charts I can produce with the RightMove / Property Bee data? I was plugging a load of sold price data into my spreadsheet last night and I have started to produce a scatter graph. I’ve only got my own street on it at the moment but it is looking pretty good as it shows volume and price over time. I will post the chart here when I’ve got a few more streets on it. I will use this chart to track my house against the HaliWide/LR indexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziknik Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've only got 6 streets on this chart so far, i will add more over time. I hope it's self explanatory. Comments gratefully received. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Interesting chart, Z. Seems like your street has massively outperformed the index. And the recent weakness in your area is not fully-reflected in the blue line you have drawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziknik Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 The blue line is a ‘poly trend line’ put in automatically by Excel. It’s the best fit I can get from the available options. I do agree it looks a little high, but I think it will sort itself out as more data becomes available. The thing I notice from the chart is the lack of sales during the crash. It looks like there’s only 4 sales during the crash and three of them sold around peak prices. I’m going to add another 6 streets to the chart at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue MA just doesnt look right to me, perhaps it is a bit of a Moving Average, rather than using just very current data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziknik Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm not trading anything new this month. Instead I am going to beef up the margins on the USDJPY long I took on last month. 5 Months in, I am 20% down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziknik Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I've gone long USDJPY this month. Last time USDJPY hit 85, we got a decent sized bounce. I'm hoping for a similar thing again. Sadly, that's the entire depth of my analysis. My Previous BP trade is looking OK. I'm around 25% up at the moment. Japan intervened in the currency markets last night driving the Yen from 82.88 to 85. My position is slightly underwater. I have an opportunity to get out with a small loss at the moment. I wonder if interventions are like buses (you wait 6 years for one and then 3 come along at once). I will watch for a few days to see what happens. I do feel we will get to 86 ro 87 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-15/j...s-recovery.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziknik Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I think I'm correct to keep holding my USDJPY long. Looks like the BofJ has a warchest for continued intervention. http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2010/09/15...fake-movements/ The Bank of Japan is said to have sold a total of about $11-$12bn worth of yen into the market on Wednesday to buy dollars, according to traders and brokers at Tokyo’s biggest FX trading operations. But that would seem a mere trifle given strong rumours that the BoJ has another Y10,000bn ($117bn) to back up Wednesday’s efforts. Might not be plain sailing though (from the same article) Some well-informed strategists maintain their view that the current intervention will come to nought and the yen will resume its upward path. SMBC, for one, in a Wednesday note predicted that the Japanese currency would reach a record high of Y79.75 within this year. Intervention, noted SMBC’s chief strategist Daisuke Uno, “will only help ease the yen’s sudden surge” for now. With the potential for false starts from the same article) Based on the previous experience, he says, the MoF/BoJ will probably intervene intermittently in coming weeks or months. At the same time, he warns, be careful - as there will be a lot of “fake” movements, where the market just pushes up USD/JPY as rumours spread although no actual intervention will take place: “The market will be full of speculation which will lead to volatile moves”.
