FYI, for those of you that are into this sort of thing, Seattle Bubble now has an official Twitter feed: @SeattleBubble. In addition to piping the latest blog posts to it, we’ll also be using it to post links and general musings on the local real estate scene, basically all the stuff that isn’t meaty enough to merit a full blog post. Enjoy!

Hear Tim on the Radio [Update: Later this Week]
By The Tim on August 18th, 2009 at 12:00 PM · 9 Comments
[Update: I got a message from the producer, who said that for some reason Weissbach's show will not be running live today. We are going to try to reschedule for later this week.]
Tune in to the Weissbach show today [this Thursday] at 5:30 PM on AM 570 to hear me (The Tim) discuss the local real estate market with host Peter Weissbach.
Almost all the local radio hosts I listen to have recently been hawking real estate “investment” opportunities (especially a particular “resort” in Eastern WA) and/or pushing mortgages with “rates are about to go up” scare-talk. I don’t believe I’ve heard Weissbach join in on that nonsense. On the contrary, I have specifically heard him denounce the misplaced notion that buying a home is somehow the path to riches.
Weissbach’s program is always entertaining and unfortunately only lasts an hour, so I am grateful that he has invited me on. I’m looking forward to joining Peter today, and hope you all tune in. [Thursday] AM 570, 5:30 PM. If you’re at a computer, you can listen online here.

Now Available: Sound Housing Quarterly 2009 Q1
By The Tim on April 30th, 2009 at 5:00 AM · 10 Comments
The latest edition of Sound Housing Quarterly—the subscription-based sister product to Seattle Bubble—has been published. As the name implies, Sound Housing Quarterly is journal of the Puget Sound residential real estate market, published four times a year.
Benefits of Sound Housing Quarterly:
- Broad geographic coverage (7 Puget Sound counties).
- Provides a concise picture of overall market conditions.
- Cleaner, more printable charts.
- All the recent data compiled in a single package.
If that sounds like something you or someone you know would benefit from, head over to the website at HousingQuarterly.com to download a free preview of the current issue and to learn more about what Sound Housing Quarterly is and how to subscribe or purchase a single issue.
Here’s a brief preview of the type of charts that are included in Sound Housing Quarterly:
If you are involved in the Puget Sound housing market in any way, as a home buyer, a home seller, a real estate agent, or a real estate investor—Sound Housing Quarterly is written with you in mind.
This 40-page publication provides an overview of a variety of factors affecting the Puget Sound housing market, as well as a detailed look at county-by-county conditions, and a forecast for where the market is headed in the coming months.
I enjoy providing Seattle Bubble free of charge as a service to the community, but I recognize that the format here can sometimes be intimidating, making it difficult to get a good handle on the overall market picture without reading along every day. That’s why I created Sound Housing Quarterly. Please take a few minutes to check it out, and consider subscribing. Thanks!

Don’t forget that Robert Shiller (yes, the Shiller in the Case-Shiller Home Price Index—which comes out again tomorrow) will be speaking at Seattle Pacific University today from 1:00 PM to 2:45 PM. The event is free and open to the public.
Hit the SPU website for more info.
I will be attending the afternoon session as well as the invitation-only downtown breakfast this morning. For those that are unable to attend either event, I will be taking notes at each with my fancy pen and will make time later tonight to write up a post about the events.

Just a quick note to let the blog readers know that some Seattle Bubble regulars have put together an “unofficial” south end Seattle Bubble Sunday morning, (March 15th) at 11:00 AM at the Columbia City Bakery (4865 Rainier Avenue South).
Hit the forums for more details. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend, due to prior commitments at church.
