Welcome to the 164th edition of Carnival of Real Estate brought to you from Nicaragua.
November 2nd, 2009
We’re excited to be hosting Carnival of Real Estate #164 this week from Nicaragua.
In our work in Central America we regularly draw inspiration from the US RE.net on online marketing and ways to equip buyers and sellers with tools to help them make better decisions. This makes us avid followers of the Carnival. We use it as a quick way into the best real estate posts each week.
Not a huge list of submissions this time round, but still a few nice articles in the mix. We’ve picked out the three we liked most and added in a runner up.
The top three real estate posts:
We enjoyed reading Jim’s advice to Rent Forever, Don’t Buy A Home posted at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity. It’s always refreshing to see an article ”tackle the cornerstones of well-accepted advice.” You may not agree with everything he’s saying. But maybe that’s the point.
We’re always exploring rankings, rating and lists in our work to help buyers get to grips with the local market. So we appreciated Whitney Tyner’s Trick-or-Treat Housing Index: Top 5 Seattle Neighborhoods posted at Zillow Blog which lists neighborhoods that “provide the most candy, with the least walking, and minimum safety risks”. Perhaps we need to inject some more fun into our own rankings?
Also in our top three is a post from Cindy Jones on Short Sale Train Wreck Coming to Northern Virginia Soon posted at VA Real Estate Talk. She may be right about conflicts between agents as a result of the way some short sales are being handled.
And the runner up:
We’ll close this Carnival with a runner up prize to Saundra Washington for her 12 Terrific Topics for Your Real Estate Blog posted at Technology Tools for Real Estate. It seems that there can never be enough list posts helping real estate bloggers come up with new content day after day.
That concludes this edition of CORE. To participate next week please submit your best post using the carnival submission form.
