Shall we have our own 12 month house price survey then?

As all of those pesky 9,000 other MSEers have had their say, shall we have our own survey of where we all think house prices will be in exactly 12 months time? Let's say the comparison is the figures released for the end of August 2009 compared with the same figures released for the average house price at the end of August 2010 (LR or Nationwide I guess).

None of this, "well, it depends whether the government do x,y,z" or "well, with this false economy we all know what they should be". Just how far up or down you think the average price will be in 12 months time, keeping absolutely everything in mind.

I'll happily keep a lovely league table of predictions here on this first post and then in 12 months time we can have a healthy discussion about the figures (or rip the p*ss out of those that were completely wrong. Although obviously none of us will be wrong, because we're all right about this kinda thing).

I know it's not very cool to take part in things, but I assume most who post here regulary would be happy to have their say. I'll go first and I reckon house prices will be 2.8% higher than now this time next year. Small dip over this winter, a bit of stagnation and then a slight rise over next summer.
