Agree - the volumes on the market/sold were certainly far less.

Ah you have returned.
Took a while to get over the 18th September.
Still living in Scotland too. Thought you'd be long gone.............

Anyway, no noticeable changes, will take a while to filter through.
There may be a few more houses than normal appearing on the market if the culling and cuts continue as non locals move on. This will reduce prices a touch.

Median selling price on properties in Grampian in 2014 was well under £250k
Grampian is much bigger than just Aberdeen though. Out of interest, have you got the figure for Aberdeen City for the same period? Not trolling, genuinely interested to know.

I have to say though, I'm with Hollowpockets - £400k is about where one would start to find a house big enough for a couple with 2 kids in a relatively pleasant and safe area in Aberdeen at the moment.

But I was interested in the wider 'north-east', not Aberdeen specifically. Rightmove say that houses sold in Aberdeen City last year averaged around £220,000 though! Peak was Cults with an average of £456k.

And this has what to do with house prices in the north-east?!

But, since you raise the subject (why are you SO obsessed with it?!), I have never said Scotland was terrible (quite the opposite) or ever made any mention of English oppression (that is just a convenient lie that you require to fuel your vile rhetoric). You are one of the only people on here who has made insultingly derogatory comments about England.

And, after all these posts, your grammar and diction is still that of a schoolboy. Although that is what you actually are in reality, isn't it? Just a wee laddie.

The only good thing about N,P&E is that it tends to confine most of the bell-endery on PH to one sub-forum.

Try driving up from Edinburgh every Monday morning with a flight to catch at Aberdeen and all those s on the A90 doing 55 in the inside lane!

Yeah, there is plenty of them driving in the outside lane doing 60! Normally a white van driver that's limited to 62 but is adamant they can overtake, then you get the lorry drivers trying to overtake, normally up a hill, but cant manage it so sit side by side for a few miles to decide to give up and pull back in.

Sure, but Hollowpockets said £400-600k was about mid-range house price for Aberdeen, you responded with the stats for Grampian - I was just asking what the corresponding statistic for Aberdeen was.

Thanks for that, in any case. I'd guess that figure will include a lot of one and two bedroom flats which will skew the average down a bit, I'd say £400-600k is probably right enough in terms of mid-range prices for a decent family home in a reasonably nice area of Aberdeen city. How that stacks up against the rest of the country is another story though.

Unless it's a distressed sale I can't see much difference in prices to be honest. Demand will outstrip supply I reckon as a lot of people (myself included) will choose to extend rather than move and pay the new stamp duty rate.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the house builders put the brakes on some of the new developments. Perhaps poor timing to start building a new town at Elsick.

Yep there's no doubt it's going to affect the house builders, however £360k for a semi in Westhill is taking the piss!!
