The Big Picture is pleased to be on it!
Here’s Inman’s description:
There is a busy field of bloggers in the real estate industry, and some clear standouts that have built a loyal following. This annual list of most influential real estate bloggers recognizes those bloggers who are well-known, well-read and have a knack for stirring up discussion and debate on important, timely and relevant topics for the industry. In addition to this list of 25 bloggers, we provide a handful of notables who are also stirring up the blogosphere.
In this report we are also highlighting 10 blogs that focus on the
economy and financial markets — real estate professionals are undoubtedly keeping a closer eye on economic news these days as the global financial crises leaves its mark on the housing market. And we
offer up a list of 10 international real estate blogs, proving that the blogosphere is truly planetary and that the passion for all things real estate is not just a U.S. phenomenon.
The full list is after the jump.

Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.
Congratulations…
Peter Viles at L.A. Land just made his curtain call at the LA Times this week. Sad. The layoffs there just don’t stop. There probably won’t even be a paper in another year if this keeps up.
heartening to see additional proof of the existence of well-functioning markets..
some of those, in the round-up, I hadn’t be exposed to, though patrick.net has, as well, long been a favorite of mine..
Where’s Ben Jones? Purveyor of Ben’s Bubble Blog, which had quietly been predicting the shit hitting the fan years before the shit actually did hit the fan?
Seems a glaring omission…
How could they leave off HousingPanic.blogspot.com? Its the only other blog other than the BP that I read regularly. They’ve nailed nearly everything from when they started 3 years ago. As for Greg Swann, he’s a tool who said Az housing will never go down because celebrities live there and they have so many golf courses. asshat.
Wow, you guys really missed some good ones. Where is Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis? Were is Mortgage Implode??? Where is ITulip??? Of course all these nailed the current crisis we are in. What was your criteria forchoosing these???
Lizard portion of brain activated…
Greg Swann is an idiot. Behavioral issues (arrested development) from a supposed professional realtor. Greg found a scam in real estate and has been making bucks, while far more noble citizens are in life’s danger in Iraq and Afganistan risking life and limb for little pay. THAT’S what’s wrong with the world today: scum like Greg run free while decent people endure dumploads of crap. If it were a just world Greg would be in Afganistan getting shot at and avoiding roadside bombs instead of someone else.
