The Top 10 Real Estate Blogs You Will Love

Buying real estate can be a huge step in a persons life. We realized this and we decided to put together The Top 10 Real Estates Blogs You Will Love. While most people may turn to well known blogs such as Apartment Therapy and Curbed, we wanted to find the “diamonds in the rough.” Every week we bring a brand new Top 10 list and this week we are extremely excited to share with you our newest list.

Our list can be especially useful for anyone thinking of becoming a home owner for the first time or for anyone looking to sell their home in what many would agree is a unique time for the real estate market.

In our rankings, we analyzed the blogs based on three categorizes: 1. Blog Site Traffic, 2. Technorati Authority, and 3. the number of linkbacks that the site had. All traffic statistics were drawn from Compete.com analytics.

Those are some great sites. I’ve been working hard on making my site half as attractive as some of those. Design is crucial but content is still king when it comes to real estate websites. Visitors want listing information, neighborhood information, etc. Laith Salma
