Toying Around with Real Estate

Yoyos come in two basic styles: there is the “classic” which looks like a simple hamburger turned on it’s edge, and the “butterfly” which resembles a compressed hour glass, turned on it’s side.. The spinning toy may be clear like glass or made of some richly-colored opaque plastic. Perhaps his new toy is made of a hybrid space-aged metal or it just might whistle when he throws it just right. With a little practice the young lad learns legendary tricks like “the sleeper,” “walk the dog” and “rock the cradle.” But, even though there is a wide variety of flamboyant yoyo’s to choose from they all perform the same humble function - they go up and down.

Close your eyes and imagine such a youngster with a brand new cherry-red, semi-transparent butterfly-style yoyo. In your mind’s eye. notice him at the foot of a trail which leads up a hill towards a fantastic magical pot of gold. Observe him throwing the yoyo up and down. Up and down. Up and down. With that yoyo still in motion, envision our friend heading up that trail toward the awaiting treasure. Now, chart the path of the shiny red toy as it travels up and down the string and progresses up the hill at the same time. Notice that even though the yoyo sometimes goes down, the general trend is always up. That same pattern applies to real estate values in most markets.
