The Original Top 35 Real Estate Blogs list<\/strong> was compiled in August 2006, and has generated almost 150,000 views since then (as of 6\/30\/2013). This post has been enormously popular, but as you’ll see below, time has not been kind to the real estate blogging space. Many of the early (and in my opinion, best) bloggers have fallen off, lost focus, or moved on. At the time of this writing, only 10 of the original 35 top real estate blogs are still active (updated at least once a week); I’ve kept a running tally of the removal of those that have fallen off to keep some kind of record of the change in the real estate blogging scene.<\/p>\n

That said, due to the popularity of this post, I believe that it is my responsibility to not only remove blogs that aren’t cutting it, but to also keep up with the times and highlight new blogs. I’ve broken this article up into three sections: the new top real estate blogs list, the history of the list as well as the original blog post with top 35 list.<\/p>\n

While there are pundits and others out there have argued that real estate blogging is dead, I believe that there is absolutely still a huge demand for these blogs, and I know that those people and companies that are active and focused with their blogging are reaping the benefits.<\/p>\n

The Top Real Estate Blogs (active list)<\/h2>\n

Note: The blogs below are active, focused, living communities that don’t charge for access. We will not announce changes to this list if they need to be made, but will simply add or remove new sites if it needs to happen.<\/p>\n

The History of the Top Real Estate Blogs<\/h3>\n

Update 5\/9\/12:<\/b> After a post from Joe Salcedo on GeekEstate, dubbed Where Have All the Real Estate Bloggers Gone?<\/a> that points to this post and goes into the decline of real estate blogging, I figured it was important to go through once more to remove any blogs that aren’t keeping up. Unfortunately, it looks like a few more are going to drop off the list. That said, I’ve decided to transform this post into a new top list, which you can find above.<\/i><\/p>\n

Update 6\/15\/10:<\/b> We fixed a few links and removed a few blogs from the list as well. It is sad to see more and more of the original top blogs on this list removed, but that is how things go. We never put together an updated top real estate blog list since the original was published, but are planning on assembling several niche ones, which we will share below.<\/i><\/p>\n

Update 5\/20\/09:<\/b> We’ve again gone through the list and killed off the dead links, as well as those blogs that either a) are rarely updated, b) no longer serve content deemed amongst the best. We also published a follow up post, dubbed The Top 35 Real Estate Blogs Revisited almost 3 Years Later<\/a>, where we examine what happened to this list, and where we solicit suggestions for a new, updated one.<\/i><\/p>\n

Update 11\/29\/08:<\/b> We’ve gone through the list to remove any dead blogs; shockingly, many on the original list are now dead or defunct. Additionally, we’re working on a new list, which will soon be published. Thanks for all the continued interest in the Top 35 Real Estate Blogs. <\/i><\/p>\n

The Original Post<\/h3>\n

As the real estate bubble begins to fizzle, so too will most real estate bloggers. There are hundreds or even thousands of people out there blogging about real estate, and most of these blogs stink.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to create a list of what I believe to be the top real estate blogs<\/b>. These blogs cover different areas of the real estate world, but they do have a few things in common.<\/p>\n
