What am I missing here?

For September:
Some 340,980 homes have traded hands across the country so far this year. That stands 1.8 per cent below levels recorded in the first three quarters of 2012.
For August:
Some 325,180 homes have traded hands across the country so far this year. That stands 2.9 per cent below levels recorded in the first eight months of 2012. Notwithstanding the recent upward trend in demand, CREA still expects the 2013 annual sales figure to come in below the 2012 figure.
But their graph is showing about
40,000 sales for September? That math isn't right; what am I missing, 25,000 in sales? Are they still double or triple counting and/or doing their improper comparison between last year and this year for private sales?
