“New levels of creativity” in listings

Posted on November 21, 2007January 30, 2008 by The Tim

Aubrey Cohen comes at us today with a frank and sometimes amusing look at real estate agents’ habit of massaging the English language to attempt to make their listings stand out in an increasingly larger sea of properties for sale.

Link Roundup: Condos So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Posted on November 19, 2007January 30, 2008 by The Tim

It’s not worth my time or yours to have separate posts for each of them, so here is a link roundup….

Times & P-I On Case-Shiller

Posted on October 31, 2007 by The Tim

Here’s the local press’ take on yesterday’s Case-Shiller data. For the most part, the reports come across as suprisingly even-handed. The biggest exception to that was the P-I’s original headline for Mr. Cohen’s piece: Seattle-area home-price appreciation leads nation again. It has since been changed to the less misleading: Mixed news on home prices. Home-price…
