Renters - you missed your chance to buy!

A lot of houses cannot close after Sandy (in November and December). The banks were asking for second appriasals on top of other delays.

Uhhhh...I was comparing YOY stats, slow month to slow month. Rental volumes were actually HIGHER YOY in the report.

Seriously, YOU need to stop digging, greentea. Its obvious you don't even understand how these reports are generated, and its also obvious you did not even read any of them.

Very valuable, slow month to slow month. Limited sample size and of non homogeneous inputs.
But you said I need to take a statistics class.

Sandy made Nov and Dec 2012 exceptionally slow.

"Sandy made Nov and Dec 2012 exceptionally slow."

OMFG you need to shut the $*$*$ right now. The # of new rentals was UP 21% YOY. Not down. Read the god damned thing before talking out of your ass.

You are a moron. That is why YOY is the best measure, because seasonality. idiot.

Jason, chill! No need to go all apoplectic and everything.

Monthly year over year data from the slowest time of the year is the least valuable way to draw a conclusion. Apoplectic Jason.

"Monthly year over year data from the slowest time of the year is the least valuable way to draw a conclusion. "

Which is why I ALSO showed you the same data from M-S quarterly going back to the mid-90s!!!! Boy, you are dense.

Here it is again.

In real $ terms, median rents (his preferred measure) are unchanged for a decade or more.

Now to confuse things more, you are adding in inflation? More adjustments? 10 year period of measurement as evidence for how rents have trended for the past year?
Can you also measure rents in Japanese Yen and compare to shares of SoftBank?
