Under Construction!

Like the general economy, the real estate industry cycles through periods of expansion, contraction, recession and recovery.  During each phase of the cycle market participants must focus on different activities in order to maximize their value and yield.  As the industry moves from one cycle to another market participants must adjust their focus.  The Cycle Status graphically shows the activities requiring special attention for any given phase of cycle.  

Remember that the various segments of the real estate industry may cycle at different rates.  For example, the hotel segment might be in an expansion cycle, when the office segment is in recovery.   Also note that there are locational differences.  When Philadelphia is an expansion cycle, Phoenix might be in contraction.
