Hey @TomK, 'Statistiches Bundesamt' this translated as Federal Statistical Office. Does that mean Bundesbank stats. Deutsche Bundesbank is the same thing?

That's quite notable. I wonder how many people see this as a positive, healthy thing, at least, you can't have a healthy body if you keep pumping it with steroids conclusion.

Or are people being cudgelled over the head by the news to think the sky is falling. If I was a home owner in this economy, I'd by sighing relief that the economy might actually start to show signs of life, properties sold, rental prices more affordable..

I literally have no idea as all I've ever known in my life is the mandate from heaven that home prices must increase year on year to infinity, even if that means a Snickers bar does pretty much the same thing.
