My amusement from this story is somewhat tempered by the fact that I still would not be able to afford it, even with another few years of falling prices.

You have to laugh. Especially at the VI speak ... these people are the same wherever you go:

''Real estate agent Michael Kellosche ... he believed the market had bottomed out, and the first quarter of this year would see housing prices begin to rise. ...Prices are now very attractive. It's an ideal time to get blue-chip properties at rock-bottom prices. ... Mr Kellosche is optimistic about the property market in the year ahead.''
