What's the buzz on Portland real estate blogs?

Now that we’re in Portland, we have an array of new real estate blogs to subscribe to. I’ve been subscribing to the Turner Realtor’s Portland Real Estate blog for quite some time now to get a glimpse into what people are discussing in the Portland area.

Ron Ares is blogging about the newest real estate search website in town on his Portland Real Estate agent blog.

Turner Realtors spotted the now-highly respected Case-Schiller Report showing a 2% drop in Portland prices, year-over-year. Welcome to the Seattle market, folks.

Salvador Del Cid’s Portland blog points out something a lot of people forget; homes that are really good deals still get lots of offers.

The Oregonian’s real estate blog wonders what a 0.1% increase in prices between 2007 and 2008 actually means.

Like a lot of other folks, Tony and Libby Kelly are trying to nail down the metrics that will show a recovery in the market.

Mike Rohrig wants a map based search – sorry we don’t have an offering for agents right now, Mike, but you’re welcome to use Estately in the meantime.

Portland even has its own bubble blog in the Portland Housing Bubble, which reminds me of the ever popular and less objectively named Seattle Bubble. They even have open comment posts, just like the Seattle Bubble used to.
