   JF - I wanted to add the Sellsius blog to the list, but I have had a difficult time viewing the blog lately. It wasn’t available at all while I was working on the list. Maybe you should look into it. Sorry you couldn’t make the original list. I’ll make you an honorable mention. . .

   Thanks for the mentions everyone!

7. rudolph d. bachraty III | 25/08/06

   joshua,

   that’s unusual. we haven’t had any issues viewing the blog ourselves and nobody else mentioned any blog downage. if you are referring to the zillow poll, then i understand because blogflux polls - which is hosting the poll - has been down intermittently. argghh!

   what browser and operating system are you using? did you receive an error message?

    Nice list but you missed some good blogs for exmaple http://www.RealBlogging.com - they may be relatively newcommers but with over 30 regular contributors from the industry including numerous authors, speakers, etc. they cover real estate on a very broad basis.

    Dan

    Lest we forget NORTHERN NEW JERSEY REAL ESTATE BUBBLE

26. Joshua Dorkin | 30/08/06

    Thanks for the head’s up there Rich. I’ve added you to my list of blogs.

27. Rich | 30/08/06

    Thanks!

    But to make sure the record is set straight, the Northern New Jersey Real Estate Bubble blog is the domain of James Bednar aka Grim.

    Some great stuff over there, and HERE!

28. Brad Wozny | 30/08/06

    Todd, I agree with your nationwide scope that there is a simmering.

    Came across some interesting data today from a report we keep up to date on builders in the industry “john burns real estate consulting”.

    We respect John and his teams insights into real estate market trends, as well as the current real-time info they provide on the home building industry whom they consult to and are focussed on as their primary client-base.

    Mainly we respect their analytics because his economists and researchers base their findings on facts, as opposed to hype (God knows if I see one more reporter talk about a bubble on CNBC I’m going to wring someone’s neck!).

    ****
    Which, by the way, as an aside, doesn’t that media giant have a majority stake in several financial institutions? Don’t you find it funny (in a sick sort of way) that they’ll then run ads at commercial break promoting their long-term insurances and investment products? hmmm…
    ****
    But I digress…

    I’m not getting paid for this plug, but John’s company publishes their findings and the actual formularies they’ve utilized to arrive at those figures (very sensible, I might add) which puts them pretty much on the money. Valuable insight into the movers and shakers of the homebuilding industry, and regional market overviews. His info is at realestateconsulting.com where people can signup for a free newsletter.

    Hope that helps…yours for massive profits & a rewarding life!
    Cheers, BW

33. Jeff Brown | 7/10/06

    Though I’m confident I’ll be included in future ‘best of’ lists, I’ve only been serious about my blog for several weeks. I expect when I am listed it will be for its merit.

43. Josh Hohman | 25/06/07

    I a little late to the party, but wanted to throw out my relatively new blog which covers flipping, development and brokerage issues in the San Francisco Bay Area. My focus is somewhat more analytical than some other blogs (trying to get something for my enormous amount of school debt to Stanford Business School…). I’m afraid I’m not yet worthy of the fine list of blogs in the top 35, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the future. Great blog, Joshua, I really enjoy it!

44. scott montgomery | 2/07/07

51. Visalia Homes for Sale | 23/09/07

    I didn’t read through all of the comments to see if this was mentioned already, but ActiveRain.com is a great compilation of blogs from all types of Real Estate professionals. Not sure if this counts - in case you want a specific blogger and not a site full of blogs

60. Andris Virsnieks | 26/12/07

    The real estate boom-and-bust cycle is still on the way down but it is not yet the time to buy (at least not in Seattle). The time to buy will be when the rent you can get, every month, for a property is 1% of the price you pay for the property. For instance, if you buy a condo for $250,000 you must get a rent of $2,500. If you stick as closely as possible to this “golden rule” greed will not suck you into dangerous speculation that has caused many people to lose their shirts recently. For more details on how to run the numbers see my book “How to Invest in Condominiums

    Yes, the real estate market is very difficult for real estate developers and sellers and in all likelihood will become progressively worse throughout this new year. In our case, we started to develop a multi unit property, when the market was still sizzling hot. Unfortunately, as the building neared completion, the bottom fell out. In our case, we hired an outside real estate consulting group which provided us with a very interesting perspective and ideas which greatly helped us sell the units. For example, our showroom had been in a temporary structure and while it was well built and representative of the apartments, the location and the temporary nature of the structure was akin to a trailer home. What they suggested may seem obvious now, but it was not when they presented it to us. We were told to rent a temporary showroom in the best area, hire well dressed, and more importantly, professional sales people and then provide limousine service from the show room to our yet unfinished building. Further, the limousine was only to come to the building at certain times, when the lighting was just right, when traffic was minimal and by a particularly scenic route, all the while having the sale person explain all of the interesting things in the area. This worked well and we were able to quickly sell almost all of the remaining units. Their website is http://www.LastLifeboat.com, though there is not much information on it. My advise to other developers is to rethink and regroup your marketing strategies.

     Hey Joshua, this is a great list. I hope you’d consider the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog as well. I cover much more than just the Tallahassee market and seem to be growing (top 1000 in Technorati). Thanks for the consideration Joshua.

121. Joe Manausa - Tallahassee Real Estate | 10/11/08

     Fliperati (last post March 2007)

     Tales of a Seattle Real Estate Investor (link doesn’t seem right)

     The Foreclosure Report (last post July 2007)

     I hope this isn’t to picky, I was just looking for some great real estate blogs (and still found many here, thanks).

122. Angus | 26/11/08

     Great list. Some good ideas there for anyone thinking of starting a new real estate blog.

123. real estate | 29/11/08

     What a great list. I will go through them and check them out. Thanks for the information.

124. Joshua Dorkin | 29/11/08

     Hey folks, as you can now see, we’ve updated the list to remove any dead links. We’re going to soon be creating a new list, so keep an eye out!

129. Santa Barbara Real Estate Voice | 8/12/08

     This is a great list, but it seems very limited in some ways.

     There are so many regional blogs and blogs for specific areas in the U.S. that are great. Most people searching for real estate would love to find a blog that is doing a great job about the specific area they are interested in.

     This list simply seems to be mainly about blogs that cover real estate in general and people that like to talk about real estate. It does not seem to be a list about bloggin realtors that are blogging about specific areas and doing a great job. Maybe that has to do with the fact that less than 4% of Realtors blog…and who knows what percentage of these do a good job.

130. Joshua Dorkin | 8/12/08

     I’m not sure who I’m talking to, as you didn’t mention your name in the place where names go, and you never signed your post.

     That said, you are correct that there are tons of real estate blogs of various types out there. When the list was created twi years ago, things were much different. Not many people in real estate knew how to blog . . . we were all figuring it out. While things have progressed, they have yet to mature.

     We’ll come out with a new list soon. . . additionally, we’re going to come out with a post that explains why bloggers need to comment with their real names and not with a link intended to build PR. (See the Note RIGHT ABOVE the ADD COMMENT button)

131. Eddie | 9/05/09

     Thanks for updating the list! I was searching for updated blogs and you made it easy for me.

     =)

     Great job with everything your doing. Can you update this list again?

     Take your real estate classes but also take a basic accounting course, real estate law, any finance course and a course in public speaking. Don’t laugh, you will use all those courses through your career. Also start talking to various brokers and let them know you are taking classes. Whether taking college courses along with taking real estate classes from various real estate companies or independent real estate schools be aware of the market you are in. Also talk to lenders so you know some of what is needed for your buyers. Please learn about Title & Escrow as well. Once you hang your license make sure you become a Buyers agent first not a Sellers agent. When you start with buyers you will be learning along with your buyers some of the issues that can come up in a transaction. If you start on the Sellers side you will be on the losing end of every transaction as most seasoned agents know who is new, knows the contingencies that will let them get out of the contract and you will be left standing holding the bag.

134. Scott Costello | 21/05/09

     Great list of blogs. How often are they updated? I’d also like to see some personal blogs up there about investors and their daily grind. Is that possible?

     Josh,

     This is a great list. Real estate is certainly a competitive place for bloggers, which is fueled by people’s natural obsession towards real estate. Here are a few others that deserve mentioning:

     Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Blog - http://bhgrealestateblog.com/

     http://www.phoenixrealestateguy.com/

     Thanks for continually providing quality content

     Hey, like everyone said, this is quite comprehensive. It’s interesting to see what others are doing, but I do wonder what difference it makes to all of us as independent Realtors and Agents? Like, how can we use all this information for good?

     Twitter is another interesting tool that can now be searched locally for agents and such in various geographical locations - and this makes it possible:

     It’s being called the “Twitter Yellow Pages”

     Hope this helps!

     Dear Josh,

     Good stuff to see the progress over the past 3 years. What did you use as your criteria to determine the top blogs for real estate? If you need our help to develop a methodology for evaluating blogs, maybe even with a survey among real estate professionals we would be happy to provide you with help.
