Probably the simplest and most straightforward setup of any blog listed here, but don’t be fooled: GeekEstate is chock-full of quality posts written by contributors from numerous real estate and marketing backgrounds. In addition to comprehensive feature pieces, many of which pertain to where real estate and tech converge, the blog has an interesting profile series that highlights some of the best and brightest (and newest — there are some young agents out there today) in the industry. Definitely an up-and-comer in the real estate blogosphere you’ll want to keep a close eye on.

Speaking of Real Estate

Given the plethora of high-quality reports, studies and surveys the National Association of Realtors™ puts out every month, it’s of very little surprise the organization has a thorough, constantly updated blog of its own as well. An even mix of news and evergreen content and plenty of intriguing videos from Realtors and higher-ups in NAR is what you’ll find on Speaking of Real Estate.

Eye on Housing

The Eye on Housing blog is … well … pretty easy on the eyes, thanks to its slim layout that features solely the most recent content from the blog. If you’re a data hound, this is the blog for you, as you’ll find graphs and charts from major economic and housing reports, including the home construction industry and the Fed. Getting insights into the latest real estate and labor market stats is a prime way to give you a clearer picture of your local market.

HousingViews

Standard & Poor’s is well-known for being one of the premier sources for home price/value data that agents and brokers use all the time. The company takes a deeper dive into its own data (and those accrued by other organizations) thanks to a handful of core contributors who are well informed on all-things housing. If you’re looking to impress fellow colleagues by dropping some real estate market knowledge on them, this blog can be of great assistance.
