Crowdsourcing the housing beat
More than 2.5 million people live in the Baltimore metro area. Think of how many know something interesting about real estate.
I'm following colleague Gus Sentementes' lead and inviting you all to join in on a bit of crowdsourcing.
Do you have some housing-market expertise? Add your name to this sources list. Share your contact information, tell me about your expertise, even suggest a story or three. And please feel free to share the link.
While we're at it: Here's a place for all Maryland businesses, economic experts and the like to do the same.
Most of you reading this, I suspect, don't work in real estate. It's just part of your life in some way. You're buying. Selling. Renting. Trying to refinance. Deciding whether to move. Appealing your property taxes. But that means you have some personal experience. Here's how you can share it:
Thanks to Google Docs, you can tell me your housing experience -- and/or suggest a story -- by filling out the form below. Unlike the sources spreadsheets, which are viewable by anyone who clicks on the link, the answers here go just to me.
It doesn't have to be something earth-shattering to be worth sharing. It doesn't have to be bad news, either. ("Hey, I managed to get from offer to settlement on a short sale in two months" would be interesting to hear.)
Thanks, everyone, for all the ideas and expertise you've already shared over the years. Have I mentioned lately that I love you guys?
