    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I have a bet with one of the older members of management at work that House prices will be lower at the end of this year than they were at the end of 2009. Only a pint of beer but has there ever been a more of such a certainty for a wager?
    He does think that house prices will take two years to get back to 2007 levels though!:rolleyes:

    Sounds like a losing bet youve made then as I think its fair to say that house prices at the end of this year wil be EQUAL to house prices at the end of 2009 (This year being 2009 and all) as such thy will not be less than 2009 so you may as well buy em that pint now :beer:
