Friday Counsel
Posted January 30th, 2010 in Real Estate, Statistics | 
TGIF
Now it’s Friday and Fridays are supposed to be fun.
Close your Eyes
A guess would be that when you open your eyes there will be amongst you some who will see a pattern consistent in these area graphs of Vancouver West, East, North Vancouver and West Vancouver markets.
Toboggans
Now many are upset that the Olympics have not included in its sporting venues a toboggan race but that’s ok. That’s a lucky thing because you need a reasonable slope and some snow. Currently we got the slope but we got no snow. It’s also ok because we may just have the beginnings of our own little toboggan race course right here in these graphs.
Check Your Pulse
A word of caution. Nobody should be getting too excited because you know that working up a sweat in those furry suits raises your blood pressure. Another thing that happens is that all the excess humidity makes those dollars bills packed in your pockets damp. It’s simply not a good way to have fun!
Keep those precautions in mind as you chew on these graphs.
Expected in return for all this wise and worthy counsel, is thoughtful, quality consumer comments but be nice, kids read this stuff.
Have a great weekend. 
“when you open your eyes there will be amongst you some who will see a pattern consistent in these area graphs” – for the visually challenged, why won’t you spell out in simple words what the pattern is. All I see is blue and orange boxes which are quite similar.
Thank you
LUC – use your powers! Look for numbers in the numbers in the box. Where’s the fun in me making up your mind?
Larry, I agree, you are a beagle/realtor who’s eyes are open and your eyes are showing you that after a record run over the past decade local real estate is possibly (too early to say it is definitive) turning down, despite low rates and the Owelympics.
I’d say your a bear in beagle’s clothing!!!!
Haha. Love all the updates Larry, keep it up and thanks!
Tammy
ps. Charles say’s ‘ditto’
the subtly range of color bars and numbers
would be the ol’ pepper vs flyshit comparison
maybe you should elucidate for this ol’ coot…..
blueskies –
And that my dear Blueskies is the beauty of a picture.
If flyshit disguising as pepper is what you see, then so be it! Just try not to sneeze.
T and C –
Always a pleasure.
Would a line graph be better you, Blueskies?
Myself, I’m thinking it would be easier to digest.
At any rate, Larry, this is going to be THE biggest bust and OWE-lympic hangover this town has ever seen.
I have been trying to tell people, especially young couplesto hold off buying.
However, that glazed “What do YOU know???” look gets in their eyes and there’s no stoppin’ ‘em!
You know what though? At least I can sleep at night knowing that I did my very best to help people avoid financial ruin.
I just wish they could/could’ve seen it my way.
Boombust –
Sounds like you’ve been having a lot of ‘Daddy’ talks. It’s the don’t drink and drive dilemma. Some hit a tree, others make it home but pay the price by hanging their head in the bowl.
“Would a line graph be better you, Blueskies?”
ummm yea
a bearish stomach churning
sphincter tightening in your face Power Point
chart complete with the official Olympic colors
“They was takin’ plaster tire tracks, footprints, dog-smellin’ prints and they took twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin’ what each one was,”
Whatever you say.
