Real Estate Blogs

There’s a ton of interesting Real Estate blogs out there. Some are regional, many of which are run by agents. Others address general issues of design, architecture, finance, speculation, etc.  While Curbed is my persoanl favorite, there is something for everyone in this list.   

These were the more interesting ones I came across:
