My key assumption is that last year, on lower volumes, with less lending available for FTB's, nobody was querying the numbers when the prices were falling. Yet now that volumes are rising, people want to question the stats? :rolleyes:
Sorry, but if they were accurate on lower transaction levels than today when prices were falling, then why are they innacurate on increased volumes when prices are rising?
I have yet to see any of you answer this.
I haven't made any comment whatsoever on last year's figures, nor, indeed on these. What do you want me to say?0 -
