No one can predict the future. And if they do, you (the buyer) are still subject to (and take all the risk) the fact that it is a prediction and may not come true. If you are buying property you should either buy:
1. Investment properties that are cash flow positive and give a fair rate of return on your invested equity cash - like 5% + cash on cash so appreciation, while it probably will come, is not vital to a fair return.
2. A personal residence that you really like, that you will live in for a long time, that is in good shape, that you can comfortably afford.
Appreciation may or may not come true so don't bank on it for making real estate investment decisions....

Presently? Approximately -8.8% (Yes, that is a negative number, meaning depreciation, not appreciation).
