Critics on the table

• Table borders are not necessary since they provide no additional information.
• Since there is no table labeling, the whole statistics is hard to understand.
• Table rows contain different types of information, e.g. "Sold", "On the market" and "Change".
• Units (% and $) within the table cells are badly formatted. Those could be extracted and written into the table header.
• Some units are explicitly displayed (% and $), others not even defined (last column).
• The Dimensions of the table columns are not properly assigned. While the last column is far too wide, others are too short.
• Header information of the first column is used in table cells again.
• Numbers are aligned left, hence they are hardly comparable and readable.
• The serparator of numbers (in table column "units") is missing. Not consistent through whole statistics.
• Precision of numbers is not constistent as well.
• Confusing naming of table cells, e.g. "Change 2007-2008" references change from March 2007 to March 2008.
• Missing percentages for Change from March 2007 to March 2008.
