It is easy, statistically factor in a few change of hands and whammo-presto BANG! An increase.

I can even prove God with statistics.

I'm not sure why people, especially academics, don't cite their sources of information. Cite your sources people! Do you expect me to take your random-ass, internet presence for anything but tomfoolery?!

Hmmm, how is this possible, when it is supposed to be falling?

Does it concern you that number was 2.5% in the last report?

Before that it was 2.7% and before that it was 2.5%. So this is the lowest gain in over a quarter. Does that matter?

yeah, because it is so hard to spend 10 seconds googling case-shilller index....sorry to trouble you there...

I'm just giving you a hard time. I get it.

I was just trying to understand how you connect these reports with your own plan. It's interesting data, but seems more interesting when you have a bunch of it rather than a single month.

I'll just build up cash reserves again, in case the bears on here are ever right!

Good luck. That area, where I have family, really seems to be dynamic.
