32 Real Estate, Investing and Economics Blogs I Read

Here you go, straight out of my RSS reader. These are 32 of the blogs I follow via RSS. If you’re a new real estate investor and you’re looking for reading material this should let you get started.

  1. Alberta Bubble – Every investor should follow a bubble blog or two. When I went through my RSS feeds I noticed that 2 of the 4 bubble bloggers I followed had quit blogging and 3 of the 4 had bought houses.
  2. Andrew C. MacDonald – A young REIN member from Ontario.
  3. Brent Davies – Former Property Manager now Realtor. Also, my Dad.
  4. Calgary Real Estate Discussion – One of two Calgary blogs I follow, not as often updated at #5.
  5. Calgary Real Estate Market Blog – I’m not often sure which side of the coin Radley’s on, but he writes good stuff usually.
  6. Canadian Capitalist – Great general investing advice.
  7. Canadian Mortgage News & Canada’s Mortgage Trends – Good source for mortgage advice.
  8. Chris Davies – Me!
  9. CMHC News Releases — Prairie and Territories Region – CMHC’s Press Releases
  10. CREA News – Canadian Real Estate Assoc News
  11. Dan’s Real Estate Blog – Dan Eisenhauer, another REIN member.
  12. Edmonton Industrial Real Estate Blog – Industrial/Commercial isn’t my bag, but it’s good to keep an eye on it.
  13. Edmonton Real Estate Blog – Sara and Sheldon’s blog, one of my absolute favorites.
  14. Edmonton Real Estate Investor Michelle Millar’s blog from Japan.
  15. GeekEstate Blog – Computers and Real Estate!
  16. Go Beyond MLS – Another Web 2.0 real estate blog.
  17. Greater Fool – He’s a twit who is only out to sell more of his books, however it’s a good idea of potential questions you might get from J.V. partners.
  18. I Love Rentals! – A US property management blog.
  19. It’s Lovely! I’ll Take It! – Entertaining photos taken from real estate listings.
  20. Real Estate Investing For Real (from BiggerPockets) – A big US investing and Realtor community.
  21. HomeVestors – Another kind of REIN wannabe.
  22. REal Experts Inc. Blog – Brian Persaud’s site. He writes great stuff and has guest blogged here several times.
  23. REINTeam’s videos – Catch the videos from REIN as soon as they get uploaded.
  24. Saskatoon Real Estate Resource Centre – A Saskatoon Realtor.
  25. Statistics Canada, The Daily – If you want to keep an eye on everything from Alfalfa Exports to how many Xrays we’re getting, this is the one to follow.
  26. TD Economics – Toronto Dominion’s Econ department, about once a week.
  27. The Calgary Real Estate Blog – Jared’s blog. Not that frequently updated, but pretty good and he does the stats.
  28. The Versatile Investor – Mark, another REIN member. Mostly RTO stuff.
  29. Tom Karadza & Nick Karadza – Two Realtors and investors in Ontario.
  30. Toronto Real Estate Blog – Toronto stats and such.
  31. Upcoming REIN™ Events – Notices and agenda stuff for REIN meetings.
  32. Worthwhile Canadian Initiative – My favorite Econ blog.

Now obviously there’s some I should add, like the other banks, some I get via Twitter, like ATB Economist Todd Hirsch. I also get some via email subscriptions, but this is a pretty decent list for getting started.

    Chris,

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. It is an honor to have Go Beyond MLS listed among the other blogs you read- I read few of the blogs from your list myself. I just hope I am not too big of disappointment!

    Thanks again, much appreciated!

    Thanks for including the BiggerPockets Blog on your list, Chris. We definitely appreciate your readership! One question, though . . . why the nofollow?

      Hi Josh,

      I’ve nofollowed some of the blogs for two reasons: first, just too see if people will notice (check!), second just for some of the larger sites both don’t need the links and tend to link all over the place, so I just tend to be careful where I link. As a rule on lists like this I tend to nofollow by default, and lift it when appropriate. I’ve switched BP to a dofollow link 🙂
