Sunday Night Stats - King County August 24, 2008
We’re just past the halfway point on the third quarter, and condo prices are getting much lower. Unless we see a major change in the next 5 to 6 weeks, the MPPSF is showing down over 11% from peak At $274 vs. $311. Not a big surprise, as pending stats have been low, so it [...]
Sunday Night Stats - More signs of stability August 11, 2008
Same as to prices. Even in the boom years, the relationship of prices from June to July was pretty much the same as it is now. Prices are running slightly above where they were this time of year in 2006.
Both of the above graphs are for King County Residential (not condo). The question isn’t whether [...]
Sunday Night Stats - King County July 7, 2008
I started working on some June YOY stats over on my blog, but I think I’m going to give it a few more days to make sure all of the June closings are posted before making any comparisons over here besides the regular stats. It is a holiday weekend, and I’m sure more than the [...]
How about those SEO tweaks? April 26, 2007
I thought about labeling this post “Does SEO work?” or something similar until I realized that is just stupid. SEO stands for search engine optimization and not only does it work, but in many ways, it is the basis for why blogs work so extremely well for promoting yourself as an expert within a [...]

The Big List of RCG Plugins October 3, 2006
My list is a little longer than Greg’s…
Akismet. A must for WP blogs… I’ve complained in the past how their service is somewhat of a blackhole and I can’t seem to rescue a few of the people who leave comments on RCG from the Akismet spam filter. Nonetheless, the service catches hundreds of spam messages [...]
10 things I learned from my stats tonight September 7, 2006
It’s been a long while since I posted about traffic on RCG. Two reasons come to mind… One, I’ve been swamped in starting my new job and never got around to updating my excel sheet and two, I knew we weren’t seeing much growth, so what’s the point
However, I took [...]
10 Great Conversations August 22, 2006
Just for fun, I started recording notes on real estate conversations I enjoy following and I decided that when the list hit ten, I’d hit publish:
David Smith has a great (no wining allowed) article about the housing bubble. I only wish David interacted with the real estate blogging community a little more because [...]
Web site statistics update July 5, 2006
A quick follow up to our previous discussion about using Alexa to measure how many people visit your site (or visit your competitors): Alexa is reporting “geek” sites doubled in popularity overnight. Jason Striegel hypothesizes that this is likely the result of digg users downloading the Alexa toolbar en masse on the day that [...]
MLB defending copyrights for the MLS May 17, 2006
The New York Times has a story about Major League Baseball’s lawsuit aledging that use of MLB’s statistics and player names in fantasy leagues is infringing on major league baseball’s mojo (look and feel?):
“What a company like CBC is selling is not nearly a repackaging of statistics,” said Lee Goldsmith, a lawyer for Major League [...]
