Maybe it isn’t happening in Mar Vista, but all across the country and up and down California, the housing market is wheezing and sputtering. I could fill this blog with posts from near and far documenting all that, but the goal here is to stick closer to home, to what’s going on in and around Los Angeles. That said, there are some great bubble-busting blogs out there. I particularly like: The Housing Bubble Blog, which does a great job of tracking down regional news from all over the nation and grouping it into posts, and then unleashing a flood of comments. Patrick.net, another strong, and very quick, aggregator of housing news and commentary. The site is usually fully loaded early in the morning. Inman News, a combination blog, aggregator and housing news wire that is full of useful stuff. The Mortgage Lender Implode-O-Meter, a racous recounting of the collapse of the sub-prime lending industry. Not for the faint of heart. Lastly, I’ll throw in a fun one: Real Estalker, a gossipy, LA-centric blog about celebrities and houses. Thoughts? Favorite real estate blogs, local or otherwise?
