Blogs and News Outlets

If you’re looking to stay up to date with the latest real estate news and trends, perhaps the best way to do so is to follow a variety of blogs and news outlets. Making use of your browser’s bookmark feature, and saving these blogs and news outlets, is more than a good idea.

So, how do you go about finding real estate blogs and websites in your area? All you need to do is Google your town’s name, plus the phrase “real estate blog,” and you should find a few different options to choose from.

Pretty simple, right?

REALTOR Magazine

While local blogs and websites featuring real estate news are more appealing, there are some bigger, non-local sites that are also worth following. However, none stand out quite like REALTOR Magazine. It’s a must-follow for anyone looking to stay up to date with the latest real estate trends.

You can find just about everything that you could want to know about real estate on REALTOR Magazine’s website. They have information on the real estate laws, the latest real estate technologies, and of course, home design ideas.

You don’t even need to purchase a physical copy of the magazines to get quality information. Simply browse the site on your phone or computer and get access to tons of great content.  

Housing Wire

Looking for another website like REALTOR Magazine? If so, check out Housing Wire, another global real estate website and blog.

We’ll be honest, Housing Wire is almost identical to REALTOR Magazine. The features and information found on both are quite similar. But having access to more than one big-time real estate blog can be handy, especially when you’re searching for something specific.

Housing Wire also offers you access to tons of free newsletters. That means you can turn your email inbox into a real estate information hub, which is ideal for many realtors or real estate enthusiasts.

Realtor and Zillow

If you know anything about the relationship between real estate and the internet, you most likely know about two websites in particular: Realtor and Zillow. These two websites have completely changed the way that houses are shown and even sold, but that’s not why they’re on this list.

Both Realtor and Zillow have blogs attached to their websites that are full of useful articles. This is especially helpful if you’re a homeowner looking for ideas on how you can turn your current home into your dream home. Or if you’re about to sell your home and are looking for some small projects to do to add value to the property.

So, if you haven’t done so already, check out these blogs and see what they have to offer. You might be surprised to find out that they’re more than worth exploring.

Also, don’t forget to bookmark them both if you find them enjoyable. In doing so, you can get to both sites much faster, allowing you to speed up your researching process.

Social Media Websites

Do you have a few different social media profiles? Perhaps on platforms like Facebook and Twitter? If the answer is yes, you need to go out of your way to follow some of the platforms that we’ve mentioned on your favorite social media websites.

Every single platform that we’ve mentioned in this article has a strong social media presence. By following those websites and blogs on a site like Twitter, you can get all of their information (and posts) featured in one place.

This will make keeping up to date with all these different websites and blogs that much easier. That way, you won’t have to search each site individually, as posts will be available for you to click right from your timelines and social media feeds.

Still Need Help Finding Real Estate News?

As you can see, there are tons of places online to find real estate news. You can find blogs and websites that are loaded with news about the real estate scene in your area. You can also follow big, global websites and get useful information from those platforms.

Following a mix of both, especially on social media websites like Twitter, is recommended to get the best experience. With this approach, you won’t have to search as hard for content to read and enjoy.
