Blogroll: I'm going to try to limit the sites on the blogrolls below going forward. Here are the critieria for inclusion:

1) be an active housing or economics analysis site. Active means at least a few posts per week. There should be more analysis than selling of a product or service. And the sites should be oriented towards housing or economics (as opposed to say stock trading or other topics)
2) Provide a link to my blog on the front page.

If you'd like to have your site added, please send me an email with "Blogroll" in the subject. Please specify the site title and URL, and the topic (housing or economics). Please be patient - I only add sites once a month or so. Thanks, CR
