    LOL:D well you did say you would!

    I notice FG who slagged off the Government's efforts at helping first time buyers by removing first time buyers grant and increasing mortgage interest relief a few years ago are ----wait for it--- talking about increasing it themselves to help first time buyers!
    Classic! so a few years ago it was worthless, now it's worth something!

    Still though, for all the arguing from the opposition against reducing capital gains from 40% to 20% on property in the late nineties, I see no promises from the opposition to increase this again to 40% if they get into power, not even on development land! Auction politics - anyone?

    What's the betting that vacancy graph could hit 20% by 2010?

    And actually, well well, heres another interesting poll, have Irish property prices peaked?

    55.16% (759 votes) - Yes
    37.14% (511 votes) - No
    7.7% (106 votes) - Maybe

    Some of the comments in there are great...

    "No they have not peaked....they may slow down but wont stop and certanly will not go back...demand for houses for next 3 years is very high...
    Smooth, Cork "

    "No, way, not by a long shot. Sure there's no limit to how high they can go.
    Andrew, Dublin 13 "

    :D

    Wonder what results this poll would throw up now if it was undertaken!

    I don't think anyone would disagree with you with this, but unfortunately this is not the case and is borne out by stats again and again. Investors/speculators have had a hugeee impact on the market - and if they run scared there will be trouble. They are the people who will shape the market.

    expect a decade of very slow growth
