Interesting stats

I'm doing some research on the property industry and I'm looking for some statistics on real estate.

I'd like to share a couple with you, see below.

RP Data estimates there were 403,670 sales across Australia over the 12 months to January 2013; -10.8% below the rolling five year average and 3.3% higher than at the same time a year ago.

"“almost half of respondents are planning on putting extra towards their mortgage in 2012, and of those 66 per cent are planning to save for future investment in residential property."

Do you know any statistics that you find astounding or that are little known? And if so, what makes them interesting?

Please share.
