David - Averages are not the greatest guideline for any one looking at real estate stats to see what is happening ..... Interesting that most boards put out month to month stats when our industry cycles up and down from month to month especially average sales figures and the number of sales ..... it would be nice if they reported a rolling average for a three six and 12 month period instead ..... I think that would be better for identifying trends than what is used now.

Hi Kathy - That's a great idea - being able to look at a rolling average for 3-6-12 months. The boards should be reading the blogs on Active Rain!!

Hi David...It's crazy our Board is still listing the Total number of Listing at 5,000. Consumers and many Realtors think there are 5,000 homes for sale, when in Fact there are less than 24oo everywhere, 1400 in the Core area, Saanich and Westshore(excluding Sooke).

Cheers
