This week’s blog watch digest
July 18, 2008
Blog watch takes us to a housing rumble, to some very cheap houses, a carnival and last, it seems there might be some issues at RSS Pieces this week. Always a few good reads…
Matt Carter writes on Inman about where you can find a good deal on a home as well as what websites you are likely to find misinformation like Trulia and Yahoo! Especially of interest, he points out how in Detroit, the commissions might actually be more than the house for sale. Check out Matt’s story here.
Another great one for us to follow this week is a “Housing Rumble” as Jay Thompson is calling it. Jay has been invited to battle it out at U.S. News and World Reports with Greg Healy, Vice President of www.forsalebyowner.com. This should be something great to watch and Jay, if we see him getting the upper hand - check your email inbox for some unsolicited tips. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on this one. You can follow the story on Jay’s blog here and here is the U.S. News Post.
Over at the Zillow Blog, the Drew talks about the Carnival of Real Estate(CoRE) getting ready for its 100th event. Good going guys. Consistency and perserverance means alot. Check it out.
Finally, it seems Mary Mcknight has changed positions or is gone over at RSS Pieces. The comments on this post are a bit unflattering. Worth a quick read though if you are interested in their products.

Real Estate Quote of the Week
"I often hear remarks from agents like, “the bank sold that house really cheap - 30% below market value”. I don’t agree with that kind of statement. If various banks are the only sellers selling in an area and they are selling all of their houses at a perceived “below market” sales price - perhaps that IS the market for that product in that area. A good price fixes any of the various bad conditions. There is no good reason to take (or keep) a listing that isn’t going to sell."
