C’MON MARCH

After a disappointing start to March numbers, it is reassuring to see that despite having a few more days left in the month that the enquiry levels for the second half of March have improved a great deal from earlier in the month.  Interestingly this is in conflict with consumer confidence levels.  Roy Morgan consumer confidence still remains at good levels however has taken a ‘dip’ in March and has remained lower than February.  So whilst we expect the final enquiry numbers for March to be a little higher than the graph below, we still believe we are going to be well short on the levels received for January and February.

Unfortunately we don’t believe the news will get much better.  We then have a holiday period in April for Easter which usually put’s the brakes on the enquiry levels.  Therefore we doubt that we’ll see April reach the heights of January or February either.
