Readership Keeps Growing
We've reached a major milestone this week, 500,000 hits!
Momentum has been growing steadily. Each week brings more hits and visits than the last. It took us six months to hit 100,000, but only two more to bring that total to 250,000. In only two more months, we've managed to hit a major milestone, the 500,000 mark. I'm sure we'll break a million before the summer is through.
I, again, want to thank all the readers and contributors for making this site a success. But even more important, for turning this blog into a community.
We're averaging approximately 1,900 unique visitors a day, up from 1,500 in April. Hits have increased to 3,500 a day from 3,000 over the same time period.
As an FYI, I'll be travelling tomorrow, so my input will be light. Can't wait to be back in Jersey.
Caveat Emptor!

jah - my wife is way concerned about the time i spend on this....
thanks! good work
Grim,
You made me nostalgic for the early days of this blog, so I reread some of those threads. There was only a few regular poster and very few posts. It is amazing how it took off with posts around December.
Yes, um...my 4-year-old has a complaint.
She says there are not enough pictures on this Website.
Mr. Oliver, you are excused.

It's just the flavor of the month. Luckily, this month may last until 2008. Easy come, easy go.

Thanks for the time you put into all of this. I'm only 30 years old, and honestly, if you hadn't compiled all the data from the 80s housing market, I'd still be in the dark, I was just a kid when it collpased back then. Thanks for putting this together and helping me become a more informed buyer. Now YOU should try and run for the top spot at NAR or advocacy for truth in Realty, hey if there's a truth in Lending act, why not a Truth In Realty act.
Congratulations and many thanks, I have had some great laughs, while we watch and commentate on the greatest asset bubble in history's...deflation.
Grim,
Again thanks for the blog. Until I found this one (& others) I could not understand how the majority could "afford" homes!

Thank you, Pat.
I'll let my cat know that your daughter enjoyed his picture.
Which gets me to thinking that your four-year old, after reading this blog, will be making better real estate decisions than most of my friends that bought homes in the past few years.
You know she always wants me to read her the posts outloud while she's eating her cereal.
When we're checking out MLS listings, and the house has a picture of a dog in a photo somewhere, "Let's get THAT house!"

I'm trying to find something I saw - maybe on this blog, maybe on one of the linked blogs - sometime in the last 2 to 4 months.
It was a small red brick house for sale or for rent with a mattress flipped up on the front porch. People were making jokes about the mattress being included.
I thought the house looked familiar, but realized just this weekend that it might be a house sold by some of our relatives last summer.
The buyers were a young couple and they were supposedly buying it for someone's mother, but then they were renting it out. They got one tenant for 3 months but now the house has been vacant for at least 3 or 4 months and the grass is all overgrown.
Does this ring bells with anyone?
I checked the POS house blog and can't find it there. So I think it was either this blog or the Jersey Shore blog. I've been searching the archives but haven't been able to find it.
This is in Central NJ, Middlesex County.
You can check the zip in realtytrac and see if anything shows up there for the zip/street name.
Thanks. Will do.
