| Share cut in priceShare of delisted units whose final asking price was below the first. | 15.7% | 18.1% |
| Long-listed shareShare of current listings that have been on the market since observation began. Higher means more unsold stock. | 9.3% | 7.9% |
| Delisted / newUnits delisted divided by new listings in the period. Above 1 means stock is shrinking. | 0.9 | 0.87 |
