In 2008, in general, it can be said there has been little in the way of good news. What started out a slow year with indications that prices would fall across the board, turned out by the end of the summer to have developed into what many property experts would describe as a freefall. With fluctuations in falling prices varying considerably depending on location across the country, nowhere escaped the carnage.
