Don't worry - you'll develop a thick skin soon from everyone jumping onto the slightest terminology mix up :)
Just wait until you get loaning and borrowing mixed up! You won't hear the end of it for about 20 posts..... :D

I wasn't been sarcastic - I was being pedantic - I think you mean Vacancy Rates?
In my (admittedly limited) understanding:
Occupancy rates = percentage of time the unit is occupied.
Low Occupancy = High vacancy = very bad for investment properties

Because of this bit....
You pay a profit to the developer, builder, etc on top of higher selling agent fees (to push the product). Therefore there can be an inbuilt "lag" to market prices.
