Has anyone else noticed that since Bertie mentioned that house prices would keep rising that everyone who seems to have a house seems to be for the first time talking negatively abut house prices rising. I suspect (IMHO) that the fact that Bertie felt a need to say this at all means he's worried the rises arent going to continue at the same rate at least. A lot of people on this site seem to be thinking about a house price slow down at least now! The fact that Brian Cowen came out with a very different opinion a day or a few days afterwards makes me doubly suspicious of Bertie's motives!
