Ash4781 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/ju...-housing-market Although Taylor Wimpey also predicted that sales will slow down over the next few months – thanks to the tradional summer lull – shares in the company jumped 8% in early trading to 33.5p. Other housebuilders also rose as traders took confidence from the trading update. The Land registry recorded monthly sales has a chart on page 12 that shows sales falling off a cliff (both seasonally and non-seasonally adjusted). So presumably volumes have further to fall. On another note does this mean that volumes will not even have a chance to recover to 'normal' until spring 2010 ? http://www1.landregistry.gov.uk/assets/lib.../hpi162009e.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't we have a countdown on here last year for JASON dying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juvenal Report post Posted June 19, 2009 Is that traditional summer lull followed by the newly traditional Autumn, Winter and Spring lulls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
