Dataquick numbers released.

Dataquick has released its December numbers, head over to Calculated Risk for comprehensive coverage (I'd also refer you to my opinion on median prices from a earlier post). I would just like to add that in parsing the release for Month over Month changes we see the following:

Release for November 2006:

Indicators of market distress are still at a moderate level. Financing with adjustable-rate mortgages is flat. Foreclosure activity is rising but is still below average. Down payment sizes are stable, as are flipping rates and non-owner occupied buying activity, DataQuick reported.

Release for December 2006:

Indicators of market distress are still at a moderate level. Financing with adjustable-rate mortgages is flat. Foreclosure activity is rising but is still in the normal range. Down payment sizes are stable and flipping rates and non-owner occupied buying activity is down, DataQuick reported.

Small changes in wording but lots of meaning.
