[img_assist|nid=4758|title=Closed Sales + 2005|desc=I added the 2005 data, which helps to put it in perspective. I am still surprised that there’s a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the media this year, with sales pretty much equivalent to last year’s, and almost nothing last year when sales were dramatically down from 2005.
It is interesting that the lowest months (Jan and Feb) are pretty similar for all three years, with reductions in bounces for 2006 and 2007. Perhaps 2000 or so sales is the baseline minimum?|link=node|align=left|width=466|height=297]
