They can give a wrong impression about what has actually happened on a month to month basis.<BR/><BR/>15% appreciation for the year is an average for the WHOLE YEAR '05.<BR/><BR/>It tells you notthing about what happened in the months of Oct, Nov. and Dec. '05.<BR/><BR/>Most of the US cities that had "15% year appreciation" in '05 also had stalling and then actual falling off of the numbers for the last quarter of '05.<BR/><BR/>It is the monthly numbers that give an acccurate assessment of the real situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15223784.post-1138666194512782682006-01-30T16:09:00.000-08:002006-01-30T16:09:00.000-08:00How about this cnn story placing king county in se...How about this cnn story placing king county in second place for a very dubious honor...<BR/>http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/30/pf/real_wage_growth_slow/index.htm<BR/>That isn't going to be good for housing either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
