Or, if you&#8217;ve got more general feedback (like &#8220;I hate interactive maps&#8221;), that&#8217;s fine too.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than putting up a multiple-choice poll, I&#8217;ll just give a brief summary of the kinds of posts I&#8217;ve currently got in a semi-regular rotation, and you can drop a note in the comments with your thoughts about what I&#8217;m doing or what I&#8217;m leaving out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seattle Bubble Data Post Roundup<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stats Preview:<\/strong> county records pull of sales, foreclosures, etc. (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/02\/july-stats-preview-where-did-the-buyers-go-edition\/\" title=\"July Stats Preview: &quot;Where did the buyers go?&quot; Edition\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheapest Houses:<\/strong> top five least-expensive homes for sale (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/03\/cheapest-home-august-edition\/\" title=\"Cheapest Home: August Edition\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monthly NWMLS stats:<\/strong> median price, inventory, sales (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/06\/nwmls-inventory-exceeds-2009-high-as-buyers-disappear\/\" title=\"NWMLS: Inventory Exceeds 2009 High as Buyers Disappear\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monthly Redfin stats:<\/strong> map of $\/sqft, inventory, sales (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/16\/redfin-sales-stalling-in-seattle-climbing-on-eastside\/\" title=\"Redfin: Sales Stalling in Seattle, Climbing on Eastside\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Around the Sound:<\/strong> NWMLS stats for 8 Puget Sound counties (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/21\/june-housing-stats-around-the-sound\/\" title=\"June Housing Stats Around the Sound\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Neighborhood breakdown:<\/strong> NWMLS stats for King County neighborhoods (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/19\/still-a-buyers-market-in-many-neighborhoods\/\" title=\"Still a &quot;Buyer's Market&quot; in Many Neighborhoods\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Housing oversupply:<\/strong> housing units \/ population comparison (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/13\/housing-oversupply-increased-yet-again-2009-2010\/\" title=\"Housing Oversupply Increased Yet Again 2009-2010\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Affordability index:<\/strong> home prices, interest rates, incomes (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/29\/housing-market-heated-up-in-q2-affordability-fell\/\" title=\"Housing Market Heated Up in Q2, Affordability Fell\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Affordable home prices:<\/strong> home prices that an income can afford (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/21\/charting-how-much-home-the-median-income-can-afford\/\" title=\"Charting How Much Home the Median Income can Afford\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employment:<\/strong> jobs breakdown, unemployment (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/03\/16\/where-the-jobs-are-and-aren%e2%80%99t-february-2010\/\" title=\"Where the Jobs Are (and Aren't), February 2010\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreclosures:<\/strong> monthly Notice of Trustee Sale stats (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/15\/foreclosures-spike-back-up-in-june-nearly-matching-highs\/\" title=\"Foreclosures Spike Back Up in June, Nearly Matching Highs\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick Look:<\/strong> simple bar charts with minimal commentary (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/14\/quick-look-may-2010-in-bar-charts\/\" title=\"Quick Look: May 2010 in Bar Charts\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case-Shiller:<\/strong> long-term plot of Case-Shiller Home Price Index (<a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/27\/case-shiller-real-estate-is-local-free-cash-is-national\/\" title=\"Case-Shiller: Real Estate is Local, Free Cash is National\">example<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FYI, I&#8217;ve got a pretty full day today, so it is likely that when the NWMLS data is posted, I might not get to it for a few hours.
