Well, I went and pulled old numbers from SD Online to look at December 2004, 2005 and 2006.
That strength in December, didn’t exist.
Dec 2006 was 14% slower than Dec 2005.
Make it worse, Dec 2005 was 21% slower than Dec 2004.
Dec 2006 was a full 32% slower than Dec 2004.
It just looked strong compared to the normally slow November.
Here’s the resale home numbers:
