I'm not going to translate the whole sentence, I leave that to Lorna. But it could be: the offers show a variation in this interval that has been growing....
Do you need everithing on a plate. I think Lorna is brighter than that.
traductorchile Dec 1, 2010:
This is basics, but still: the interval is the time between one figure and the other. The figures refer to amount of places for rent offered. These figures have increased, plummeting prices. Can't be clearer. If you don't understand something you should refrain from disagreeing till you can understand. Literal translation isn't bad when there is no better way of translating something correctly.
philgoddard Dec 1, 2010:
Your answer is a literal translation that doesn't answer the question - you haven't explained what the "interval" is. This is where human translators have the advantage over computers - they can look at the surrounding context rather than just substituting words in one language for words in another.
traductorchile Dec 1, 2010:
What is an appropriate translation? Someone else's translation? No, you have to do a parallel between the spanish meaning and the english meaning and considering the usage in target and origin countries. When a term is not a very complex one, as in this case, I don't think it is necessary to deliver definitions in both languages with the corresponding references. With the "usage" it should be enough. That's my view, at least.
philgoddard Dec 1, 2010:
I'm just not sure what "ofertas" are in this context. Does it mean offers to purchase property? Either way, they appear to be less frequent.
I'm not sure how I'd translate "en los últimos semestres" either, especially since it refers to "en los últimos trimestres" further down - I'd be tempted to take liberties and translate "semestres" as "quarters".

few and far between

Offers presented are few and far between and the tendency has continued to increase the past quarters...

I would stick with the idiom as it communicates the idea that because of market conditions there is a dearth of buyers. Too, it sounds more natural.

Another idea: The gap between offers has widened the past few quarters making it difficult to close deals.
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : I'm tempted by your answer (and Allegro's!), but what do you make of "debido a la dificultad de realizar las operaciones"?

That it is hard to close transactions. The main reason is because there are few buyers and market conditions discourage people from making a decision. That´s my opinion as a Real Estate Broker.

neutral AllegroTrans : your refs have nothing to do with the subject/// all they do is to show a few usages of the suggested term, they don't indicate that this is an appropriate translation within the context - that's what I meant
34 mins
I thought the subject was variación del intervalo, maybe I'm blind. Interval, variation, aren't they in the refs?
disagree philgoddard : Allegrotrans is right - you've ignored the context, and this doesn't answer the question.
