It’s easy to misinterpret economic data, especially in a foreign market which is different to the one back home. Is la Caixa expanding, or contracting – dumping its housing stock on the market at reduced prices? Here’s another link:

Is there a lack of transparency? Almost certainly. And some misunderstanding? Definitely. Do I understand it? No.
But then, on the few occasions I visit a casino I set myself a limit and walk away when I’ve lost the amount I can afford to lose, with my credit card safely locked in the hotel safe or left at home. I might have a walk down to my local Caixa tomorrow.
