    Even without the recession factor and the banking system capitulation, there is absolutely no chance of stablisation by this time next year and that is not just wishful hoping on my part.

    History says prices will continue to fall into mid 2010, followed by a period of stagnation of anything upto 4 years, however with the recession, banking crisis and huge personal debt mountain, these are conservative estimates.

    Who said that prices will stablise and begin a steady rise next year ?, there is absolutely no evidence, past or present that suggests this could happen. There is no money !!

    Oh dear....

    Not a lot of point in responding to a poster who no longer posts due to some horridness.
