<p>I have to collect some data for a work project (of somone that is away on vacation!!) and don’t understand most of the terminology.</p>
<p>Q.1
What does m/m % change mean? Is it the % change from Feb.2009 to Mar.2009 or Mar.2008 to Mar.2009</p>
<p>this is for existing home sales and existing home prices…</p>
<p>anyone? I have about 20 more questions on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon =(</p>
<p>I’ve always read those figures as follows:</p>
<p>month to month % change: end of Feb to end of March, same year</p>
<p>year to year % change: end of March last year to end of March this year</p>
<p>Here are some figures for my area in a report. Perhaps you can find a similar report in your area by googling.</p>

<p>Thanks elle.
What I am actually looking for is national data, for the U.S. economy as a whole, and they are numbers released by various federal agencies, but of a long list of 40, I am just at a loss for the following:</p>
<p>existing house prices
new house prices
vehicle sales
new jobs created</p>
