Things are not what they seem

Times Online: Cracks appear in the housing market recovery

I couldn't see any information in the Nationwide release to say how many property sales their statistics are based on. It's very poor releasing monthly statistics when this information is not made clear. The 10.5% annual increase could have been based on relatively few property sales.

The Times like to put a little bit of Bear Bait out every now and again, as the only time people who bother to look at their site, is when it is linked to this one.

HAHAHAHAHA.

I think it's fair to say the 10.5% annual increase has been based on relatively few property sales.
