East Central Bench: Mysterious 2-Year Cycle

I ran the sales volume numbers going back to September 2000 for the East Central Bench Historic District in Ogden. I plugged a 6-month moving average into the figures and here is our result:


Anyone see a pattern in there? It looks like we just completed the 3rd iteration of a two-year cycle. Sales on our moving average all peak in the last quarter of 2003, 2005, and 2007 with a significant dip after peak. It almost reminds me of a EKG heartbeat. I know about the one-year seasonal cycle for the market in large but this market activity defies description. If anyone has a clue as to why Downtown Ogden would follow this odd 2-year pattern, chime in!
