Don’t worry! The December stats look weird because December is the slowest month of the year and we’re dealing with small sample sizes. For example, with detached houses, there were only 44 houses sold in the areas we track, and that’s less than half the amount we see in most other months. So no, I don’t think this is a trend of detached house prices going down by more than 10% or semi-detached house prices going up 20%+. It’s just one of those statistical things. – Melanie
