The typical home price has increased, and interest rates haven't decreased this month, which could explain the market's cautious attitude. This situation is likely temporary, as interest rates are expected to decline and average wages are on the rise. In my opinion, this presents a valuable opportunity.

Hopefully we'll get some firm pointers next week with BTRW also due to provide an update.

They may be presenting historical data from Barratt Developments and Redrow together before any official merger, reflecting their individual performances during those years instead of as one company.

Of more interest to me are the interim results for BTRW coming next week, along with an update from MJGleeson, which could provide solid indications of a recovery in the housing market. Let's see.

What You Need to Know About Six Nations Advertising on ITV:

Pre-Match Ads: Standard 30-second commercials cost between £10,000 and £35,000 during prime-time slots, priced high due to large expected audiences.

New In-Play Ads: A new split-screen format during scrums allows for about 20 seconds of advertising alongside live action. Pricing is expected to be premium compared to regular spots, but specific costs are undisclosed.

Post-Match Ads: Similar to pre-match ads but shown during wrap-up analysis, typically priced slightly lower than peak in-play slots.

Total Estimated Costs: For the first match, a combination of pre, post, and in-play ads could reach approximately £70,000 to £100,000.

That's just one match!!

Well, I could have judged it better but I'm happy with my gains.
