Some additional land sales stats

As a follow-up to the economic town hall, and some questions asked there and after, I've done some additional analysis on land sales, as well as attached a detailed spreadsheet with a dump of ALL of the land sales over the last 30 days including size, amount, and sim. This should provide fuel for analysis for some time. I'm sure there is fascinating stuff in there for everyone to start mining.

As far as summary - there have been questions about how many people are really doing the buying and selling of land. For that, I took a look at the total number of distinct buyers and sellers of land over the past month:

+-------+--------+---------+--------------+-------------+--------------+
| sales | buyers | sellers | total_traded | median_sale | average_sale |
+-------+--------+---------+--------------+-------------+--------------+
|  7737 |   2231 |    1417 |     43773881 |        2999 |    5657      |
+-------+--------+---------+--------------+-------------+--------------+

As you can see, there are a very large number of different buyers and sellers.

Additionally, I counted the number of parcels and owners by parcel size:

+------+---------+-------------+--------+----------+
| size | parcels | group_owned | owners | for_sale |
+------+---------+-------------+--------+----------+
|  512 |    9957 |        3321 |   3080 |     2074 |
| 1024 |    4531 |        2178 |   1453 |     1684 |
| 2048 |    2808 |        1076 |   1396 |      535 |
| 4096 |    4568 |         859 |   1360 |      290 |
| 8192 |    1410 |         532 |    910 |       93 |
|16384 |    1112 |         381 |    587 |       57 |
|32768 |     333 |         127 |    214 |       20 |
|65536 |     386 |         117 |    215 |        3 |
+------+---------+-------------+--------+----------+

In this case the 'size' refers to square meters - so the '4096' row tells us that there are 4,568 different parcels in SL of between 2048 and 4096 square meters in size, and that there are 1,360 different people who own those parcels.

As I said above, I'm sure the attached data dump of all the sales will make for interesting reading, and will allow compilation of price-per-sim, etc. I'll look at putting this data into the economic statistics page in an automated fashion. Finally, some may notice that the total amount of transactions in the attached file is lower that the total cited as a summary above - I don't know why that is happening - there may be sales that aren't being captured in the appropriate detailed log - I will look into that.
