A common statistical statement is that over time, everything eventually regresses to the mean.  

For a few years now, statistics have shown an unsustainable rise in housing prices as a multiple of family income (over 7 times in Toronto and as high as 11 times in parts of Vancouver) and a widening divergence in the rise in property prices to increase in rents.A correction of prices north of the 48th is not a question of "if", but "when" as the status quo is not sustainable.

For example, investors can check the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to see whether the local unemployment rate is decreasing, which could suggest a smaller chance of renters falling behind on their payments.In addition, the National Association of Realtors' website provides quarterly updates on median home-sale prices in many metro areas.

Thought some of you might enjoy this....The Texas Real Estate Year in Review Report provides annual real estate sales data from a statewide perspective and for 25 metropolitan statistical areas in Texas.

This won't work because of A B C and we won't win because its statistically impossible--no!

If you look at selling price vs. list price, a change in demand becomes very prominent but statistics lag what is happening.We have a huge amount of statistical data plotted for Silicon Valley.

Keep in mind that most undocumented will move in (statistically this is the case in NC) with someone else being on the lease.

This also applies to local crime statistics, even if my data comes from another source.

I think it is a nice report and has a lot ton of statistical information, that I don't think I would use, but would be nice for a seller or buyer.

Where can I find statistics that show activity in the rental market on a month by month basis ?
