OH, where to begin? Either because of the cold weather or something in the water, January was a pretty good month for posts on EXITrealestate540.com. There were the usual smattering of gems, quality content, and an uninspired post or two. January saw some major changes as a new president was sworn in, we watched the recession deepen, and home prices gave us some pleasant surprises. Check out the best posts of Jan. 2009.
Your One-Stop-Shop for Great Real Estate Posts
I hosted the Carnival of Real Estate in January, so if you haven’t already, check out all the great posts from around the country at EXIT Real Estate 540 Presents CoRE #126 “Change” where I thought a goofy butterfly based change theme was appropriate for the week. Congratulations to all the winners! Now check out some of the other posts that I actually wrote in the month of January.
Entertaining, yet informative:
White Elephants Tough to Sell in Northwest Arkansas This post shed some light on how many high-end homes are for sale in Northwest Arkansas and how long they have been on the market. It kind of made you feel like you knew something others didn’t.
Why Subscribing to My Blog will Help You Lose 5 Pounds is a poignant look at how a good local real estate blogger is worth his (or her) weight in gold…All joking aside, I point out some great things about local content that will keep you from wasting your time on the ‘big’ real estate sites and see what’s really going on in your neighborhood.
Curious Facts to Celebrate the 56th Presidential Inauguration was another entertaining, yet informative post that had little if anything to do with real estate. Sometimes you just have to branch out.
5 Proactive Steps to Take When Your Home Won’t Sell speaks to our market and how sellers that are having difficulty can still get our of their current home in one piece.
Just Entertaining, but with a lesson:
26 Things that will Make you Move When you Least Expect It was a big hit (for me anyway) on reddit and stumbleupon. It had that perfect mix of entertainment, wit, and pointless banter that made it interesting. I’ll probably do a top 100 list one day.
Snoozeville, but super-duper informative:
Northwest Arkansas Housing Market Report for 2008 where I use my actual formal education in finance to make some sense of last year’s crazy market. It’s definitely worth the read if you have cup of coffee in hand.
I do hope you enjoyed January. It looks like EXITrealestate540.com is picking up some steam going into 2009 so be on the lookout for ever more informative, more in-depth, more real estatey posts mixed in with some flavorful morsels to keep the boredom at bay.
