That's what the past two months have been! Up and down, up and down, a real roller coaster ride working through deals, working with clients, sellers, buyers, and even the dang weather!
Whew... my stomach has been up and down right along with the ride...
Some deals make it (that's the up); some deals don't (definitely the downs); I only know that I have hung on very tight through all of them and eventually even the down ones have an up to them!
My blogging has been up and downas well... couldn't blog; blogged like mad; no time to blog;
up and down and up and down....
The weather - first it is raining, then it is sunny, then it is snowing, then it is hailing; it's 18 in the morning and 55 in the afternoon. Up and down and up and down...
The real estate market goes up and down, and up and down; on the way up a roller coaster slowly creeps up and reaches the top (just like our real estate market); and then what seems like the snap of a finger, it comes rushing down the other side dropping all our stomachs out and giving us a hair raising experience....hmmmm...
up and down up and down....
When will the ride stop or stay on the straight and narrow? I hope never because then life would be ever so boring and no thrill at all. Even with the maddening ups and downs, it is the best ride ever!
Especially when it starts to creep up the UP side again. The anticipation is maddening (and you know it will come) to get to the top and you know the coming down will be fear, fright, nauseous tummies but we will creep back up to the top again...be it ever so slooooowwwllyy...
Pretty darn close to how "LIFE" is! We just have to hang on, enjoy the ride and be prepared for the "down."
Are we starting to creep back up the UP in our local Allyn,Belfair and Hood Canal real estate market? We just have to wait for the ride to return to the top, it may creep a little slower as we gain altitude -but eventually we will surely make it.
What goes up must come down!
Now that we have seen the down, maybe we will all remember to be a little better prepared for the ride down..even though as much as we don't want it too, reality is that at some point it does go down...
And remember to always use the safety bar -especially on the way down!
GOING UP!

It is time to be on the way up again! It is also good to keep a realistic persprective though-Dinah Lee
I know the feeling. It sure is a roller coaster ride for everyone involved. Thank you for sharing
Life has its ups and downs, just like the real world around us! It will get better, eventually!
Love the blog - it could almost be written as a little book! Seriously. That seems the way life is right now, up and down, up and down.
Dinah - not just up in real estate but everything and it's our positive motion too that will help it go up. Thanks for stopping in!
Maria - It does feel like a roller coaster ride at times, days where out stomachs are soured out and then quickly twisted in the other direction! Thanks for stopping by!
Sharon - Yep - it goes up and down just like that roller coaster. I'm figuring though we have to be on the way up now - ever so slowly turning that bend and slighlt up hill! Thanks for stopping in!
Linda - Couldn't think of anything in particular to blog about but knew that this was what it felt like! Thanks for stopping!
Glad to hear that you are "busy" the alternative could be much worse, right?
I enjoyed reading this post.

Greg- Oh I LOVE being busy - even with the UPS and DOWNS! Hanks for stopping by!
Richard - Thank you-It fit with the way things seem to be going the last few months! Thanks for stopping in!
Valerie: Thanks for the truism. I believe we're about ready to be on a good up. Several realtors I know are opetimistic and working it again. Last year was the big down; now we can start heading up again!
Paul- the last months have been mostly on the up and I am looking forward to it even though I know with the ups comes some downs! But lets keep those to a minimum. I have definetely seen an increase in activity in the last month and my personal sales were higher the first 3 quarters of this year than last - so that has to say something in itself as well!
I do believe that we are in an up swing in this market. You make your business grow......Dream big and you go big........
Scott - so true - we reap what we sow! Thanks for stopping by!
