Edmonton Real Estate Bord June Press Release

Look at the June press release from the Edmonton Real Estate Board from their 2007 Archive.

Sales remained strong as buyers took advantage of a wider selection of homes available. At the midpoint for the year 13,282 residential properties have been sold through the MLS® valued at almost $4.5 billion. That is 1,712 more properties than the same time last year. Single month sales in June were up 20% from last month and 15% from June 2006.

The reference to increasing sales was false. Single month sales in June were down 20% from last month and up 1% from June 2006. They pulled this sentence from their online press release without issuing a correction as seen in their previous stats page.

If they would have put an official correction instead simply removing the wrong information it wouldn't have come back to damage their credibility. That's it for this dead horse.
