Play from 7:28[7:28]" When you say differences they have on their mind. If the prices with the current market value with today into the Greek market to sell your house and if you going to find out house. If you can move up if you have a condominium by a single family. This is definitely a market is no question that. If if you just maybe I want to sell my house now I don't really have to. Maybe somebody's thinking about retiring -- want to wait a couple more years. -- market's going to come out that -- comes up. So where are they going to is going to come out -- so it really depends on personal situation. It doesn't happen to find out what to -- is -- that the person in -- and I think what can Obama. If it works."
