This is our list of second-tier winners in the Carnival of Real Estate. Like those we exhibited yesterday, these are all well-developed ideas pertinent to the real estate industry. These are all very worthy posts, the kind I consider eminently link-worthy, because they advance the meta-discussion that is real estate weblogging.
Working from interviews with real estate webloggers, Drew Meyers from Zillow Blog asks Why Do You Blog?

Our outbound traffic to yesterday’s winners was huge, more than double our normal outbound/inbound ratio — on a very busy day. That’s great, and this is why I wanted to show these posts on a separate day — so that they don’t get lost in the shuffle. Let’s dig in and devour all these delicious creams and cheeses so that tomorrow we can self-flagellate in good conscience…

Indeed it was. I had a boatload of visitors from here. (“Boatload” is the tehnical term for “a whole bunch”.) Record number of visitors to the blog yesterday, surpassing even the total from the 9/11 tribute post. Many visitors spent a long time, and read several pages.
Thanks! I’ve already read many of the creams and cheeses in previous trips around the blogosphere, looking forward to the others.

Wanted to let you know that I think that what you have done this week with the Carnival is brilliant, and a much needed change to the format. There is never anything wrong with rasing bars or increasing standards. Of course, I would have expected nothing less from the Bloodhound.

Greg, I’m pleased to submit my first Carnival post to you… I hope future hosts follow your format, it’s a joy to check great articles on successive days… thanks…
Also, I’m surprised finding my new posts in your comments (the fourth one above was a quick revision of the article to point to a sidebar listing my serial posts) instantly trackbacked to you… assuming it’s a WP plug-in… great stuff…

Greg-
I love the fact that you are raising the bar on the carnival- it’s a welcome change that I hope future hosts follow. Personally, I’d rather just see one post on Monday with the best 10-20 posts- with quality driving the number of posts the host chooses to highlight. Nonetheless- great work on the carnival this week!
