Well, the recent increase in sales is most likely due to those sellers who are fully aware that sales are dead from Nov-Feb and want or need to sell NOW.

Anybody remember those Lexus ads they run every Christmas with the new Lexus in the driveway with the ribbon on it? Well maybe this year a RE industry group should run one where people drive up in (the realtor's) Lexus and the house has the ribbon on it!

Hey guys, I found a way to make the Seattle Real Estate "Professionals" blog much more readable. You have to be running Firefox with Adblock Plus 0.7 or newer.

Open up your filter list: Tools -> Adblock Plus...
Click "Add filter..."
Paste the following: blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com#div(piStory)
Click "OK"

Now go reload the blog. I think you'll find it much more tolerable.

I've proposed a discussion on the following topic:

http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/real ... 123809.asp
posted on the RE Prof PI blog.

I'm asking everyone (agents and bubblebloggers) to bring their A game. have thought out arguments and leave insults, drive bys and bravado behind.

Anyone game?

Wow!

redmondjp made a great post on Greg Perry's blog. Note how he gets no direct response to his comments about median price vs median income and affordability.

duder made some excellent points also

Hey guys,
For what it's worth, the main thing I wanted to do is to introduce civility in discussion. There are many bright minds over here that have good things to say. I don't have to agree with the point of view.

You don't have to agree with my point of view.

Reasonable people can look at the same subject and disagree.

I'm one writer in the mix over there. While I may disagree with what someone has to say, I'll keep my comments around the message and do my best to keep the conversation civil. I think it's somewhat childish on both sides when the discussion turns to name calling, put downs and drive by slams. I like discussion. I've had great conversation on the blogs with people who I don't see eye to eye with, and have come away with respect because they're thoughts are well laid out.....and I've seen times when we've introduced good points to each other.

Also, for the record, it took awhile for me to get used to anon posters. Some of the writers over there are going through that now. Keep in mind that the PI blog was pretty much dead, we now have a core of about 6 or 7 contributors that are bringing life back to it. These writers have been there for about less than 3 months. I have no problem with anon at all now. For instance, I've had many discussions with Billirubin on several blogs and I have a respect for his point of view.

I'm sure that you'll find content over there that you can learn from, as you have content here that we can learn from.

What do you say we work to get on the solution side?

I'm going to post this on both blogs.
