We expect this trend to continue during 2006 as house prices rise at a slower pace than earnings, therefore making it a little easier for first-time buyers to enter the market.

The rise in prices in the first three months of 2006 was...slower than the gains recorded in the two final quarters of 2005.

The annual percentage increase in house prices nationally in 2005 was the smallest for 10 years.

We expect a slower pace. We will work hard in practice to get ready.

As the supermarkets come to expect those tomatoes and don't get them those prices are going to rise.

We expect that prices for certain commodities like cement, asphalt, PVC pipes and labor to continue to increase, and that contractors will make sure they put that price increase in their bids. It's a guessing game.
