“The survey found 21 percent of the 1,168 surveyed see a fall in prices, with those heavily concentrated in areas that have already seen values decline”
Why do you assume it’s nationwide ? The only fact is 1168 people. They could have been real estate agents.
They could have been people who were called during dinner.
I cannot understand why anybody would even waste their time. Without demographics, it’s complety random, with nothing to indicate that it is a “nationwide” poll.
If it had a positive spin, it’s what I would expect from the NAR. It’s less useful than a press release that cites the median.
