As I have shared with the Dothan Home Search readers before, the Real Estate Tomatoes are a group of real estate and mortgage professionals whose goal is to give their knowledge of their respective markets to the readers of their blogs. My hope is that this information will be relevant and valuable to the readers of dothanhomesearch.com.
Here is the best on the vine this week.
A couple of Tomatoes are doing series posts this week, and both make for great reading.
Rob of Three pounds of Real Estate covers Salt Lake City real estate, and is doing a series of posts on some of the architectural styles found in his area. So far he has covered Federal, Dutch Colonial, Creole, Craftsman, Contemporary, Cape Cod, Bungalow, and Art Deco. I am sure you all will find this a fascinating as I do.
Tracey blogs about Calabasas, California real estate, and she is posting this week about the difference between listing your home for sale and getting it sold. There is a big difference between the two, and Tracey lays it all out very well for sellers.
Gena over at Sacramento Real Estate Voice has a great Q&A with her audience, discussing in simply terms some common real estate questions.
North of the border, Hiliary is talking about Oakville, Ontario real estate. Yes, that is a long way from Dothan, Alabama, but the emotional state is home buyers is very similar, no matter the locale.
The media is beating us about the head on a daily basis about the rising number of foreclosures across the country and how they will effect the housing market. Marc over at Lending Clarity has an excellent post on the difference in a short sale vs. a foreclosure on your credit report.
Eric is airing the laundry on Columbus, Ohio real estate. He has a great post on becoming a real estate investor.
Chris from St. Louis Real Estate Voice has an interesting post on the blame game for the mortgage mess. I see a lot of similarities between the real estate agent community and the mortgage brokers Chris describes. Too many as a matter of fact.
And finally, Chad, who has the most excellent Front Porch View in Blue Ridge, Georgia real estate, tells us that his area has been named as one of the top five tourist destinations in the US for 2008! I certainly concur!
Another week of great writing Tomatoes!

Charles, thanks for the mention on your great blog along with all of the other vine members.
All of these are terrific blogs, packed full of information! I highly recommend that your readers check out each of them and look back through some of the old posts, as well as the ones you mentioned.
Charles,
I am a little behind, but I couldn’t go without telling you just how much I appreciate the mention and link in your blog. You do an amazing job with your “The Best of the Vine” posts.
I am grateful and hope to return the favor.
