"I noticed no bull predicting a drop of 6% last year, heck they spruicked 7- 10% increase. Very wrong... Wrong By 16%, in fact.

So sure, not by the exaggerated 40% but the bears were right and the bulls were wrong! "

That is hilarious everskim as one eyed post as ever. If I recall the growth polls conducted earlier in the year were quite a bit different the vast majority of positive property people predicted little or no growth - with far more extremists on the bear side so in reality there were more bears out of touch with the real result. FYI just because we have a positive/bullish attitude towards property does not mean we expect good capital growth over the short term - it just means we are positive for our own investment strategy/timeframe.
