Well there was a fairly rapid fall in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Thats pretty noisty!
You're right. It is neccesary to look a bit deeper. Unfortunately you've only provided the blunt Scotland high level averages, so not really achievable with the "evidence" you're providing.
Theres a fair bit of evidence that the "new peaks" are the noisy bits, not least of which being the statements made to the press by the producers of such statistics confirming the same.
Didn;t espc tell you that was seasonal variation?0 -

Countered by equally rapid rises!!!!!!!!!
when you understand the methodology of the figures used to generate the graph, you can see the wider picture and over the course lends to indicating a stagnating market.
Meanwhile you can try to focus on the individual, non mix adjusted monthly noise.You're right. It is neccesary to look a bit deeper. Unfortunately you've only provided the blunt Scotland high level averages, so not really achievable with the "evidence" you're providing.
Feel free to go to Registers of Scotland Executive Agency and look at their breakdown.
I have provided a breakdown before on your VI area Edinburgh.

Ahh, the peaks are noisy, but the falls are facts.
All based on the same data.

You missed a critical point Lite.Theres a fair bit of evidence that the "new peaks" are the noisy bits, not least of which being the statements made to the press by the producers of such statistics confirming the same.
And by "confirming", I mean openly stating the same in press releases. That would make you quite wrong I think.
Comedy Genious(sic) indeed.0 -
