4. Threads per day in 2021 (28 day moving averages)

 

Well yes, but then the peak posts-per-day was less than 500, so you'd only expect that difference between months with 30 vs 31 days ... while the reality is quite a bit more.

I suspect the peaks more correlate to major events such as lockdowns or other major news or events throughout the year - plus a bit of influence from the extra day in certain months.

 

5. Threads per month in 2021

 

What makes you think it is in decline?

You can see from the average daily posts chart from the past 3 years that - other than for a period at the beginning of 2020 (inital COVID discussions) - the discussion in 2021 has been higher than from any of the previous three years.

The property boom in the last 12 months or so has seen a significant increase in activity.

Note that the drop-off in November and December happens every year, followed by a strong increase in activity later in January as people come back from holidays.

From June 2021 anniversary stats:



You can see the effect of strong markets over the past 2 years - a lot more people registering than we've ever had before.

5,663 registrations for the 2021 calendar year continues the strong interest in real estate.

I have no doubt that once the markets cool, then new registrations will slow somewhat.
