Blog posts submitted to the 119th edition of the Carnival of Real Estate

Welcome to the December 1, 2008 edition (aka the post-Thanksgiving edition) of the Carnival of Real Estate.

Even though it was a week for many of travel malfunctions (including weather-related delays along the East Coast on Nov. 30th), preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, revisiting or avoiding the same ol' issues with in-laws or, if you were like me, self-medicating a holiday dose of stomach flu (and/or food poisoning, but we're not telling our hosts that!), there were still a total of 19 posts submitted to this carnival this week (winners will be announced in a post to be published later this morning). For now, here are the 19 submissions:

For those of you who missed the deadline, submit your blog article to the next edition of
carnival of real estate using our carnival submission form. However, please remember that posts are supposed to have been written during the two-week period prior to the carnival's publication (I noticed a few submitted posts had been written anywhere from several weeks to several months ago).

Next week's CORE will be hosted at the Realty Thoughts blog, and thanks again to Stockton Real Estate Specialist for hosting last week's carnival.

Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
