I believe that the realtors on this forum should provide market insights, such as that provided in Bob’s newsletter. In response to this thread started by desmond, I would expect any realtors on this forum (there are several, let’s not pick on one of them), to add to it. For example, they could say. “I also see a high vacancy rate in my area”, or “1/3 of my customers say they are leaving San Diego”, or “I see something different; in my area, investors are busy buying up properties”. I am looking for market insights from the realtors.

Look at Bugs. What a professional. He has a cool head, and continuously teaches us about the market conditions. Privatebanker has taught me so much. He’s written many posts about REOs back in the 1990’s, and has a solid knowledge of banking and investing. Chris J taught me a lot about trading and investing. None of these guys gets sidetracked by having a laugh at the expense of a colleague. I thought sdr’s comment was a cheap shot, and was the only thing he had to say about a report so valuable, it has been quoted on numerous blogs so far. It’s up on ocrenter, Ben’s blog, and Patrick.net.
