For borrower planning, those counts may help a borrower establish the scale of the measured housing base before comparing tenure, rent, current listings, property condition, and financing. The figures describe stock across the survey period; they do not say that 1,295 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 35,185 total units with 33,890 occupied and 1,295 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
