The OA for the below question is [spoiler]"A"[/spoiler]. Can someone please help me understand why "[spoiler]C"[/spoiler] is wrong???
Recently in City X, developers have stopped buying land, contractors have found themselves going without work for longer periods, and banks have issued fewer mortgages. There must be fewer new residents moving to City X than there were previously.
Which of the following indicates a flaw in the reasoning above?
A) This year several housing blocks have gone on the market after being held up for months by legal red tape.
B) The average size of a new home has increased significantly over the past several years.
C) Re-sales of condominiums have increased over the past six months.
D) The cost of materials such as lumber and cement has decreased over the past year.
E) Sales of other big-ticket items, such as automobiles and boats, has remained steady over the past year.
