I should add that I sold in September 2007. I did occassionally browse the forum but the articles on the newsblog convinced me that things were going to turn.
I subsequently purchased a much bigger house early this year having rented for 18 months. Happily settled in a house three to four times the size of the place I sold, purchased at less than double what I sold the old place for.
More carnage to come but I'm a happy bunny.
