Money Magazine Names Best Places to Live
Middleton, Wis., is Money magazine’s top 2007 Best Place to Live.

The magazine, whose annual selection of attractive locales has the power to turn a sleepy borough into a blossoming hot spot, says that this year it focused on small cities, between 7,500 and 50,000 in population. It chose areas that offered the best combinations of economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a real sense of community.

It also added a ranking for ethnic and racial diversity, and it paid special attention to home prices and property taxes. That meant that some expensive locales that had done well in the past slid in the rankings.

Visitors to the "Best Places to Live" section of CNNMoney.com will be able to see the latest homes for sale, recent home sales and "Million Dollar Homes" for all of the cities highlighted in the annual feature. Users can click on city maps powered by Trulia.com to view data for each home, including location, price, photos, bedrooms/baths and square footage,

Here’s the top-10 list:

Middleton, Wis.
Hanover, N.H.
Louisville, Colo.
Lake Mary, Fla.
Claremont, Calif.
Papillion, Neb.
Milton, Mass.
Chaska, Minn.
Nether Providence, Pa.
Suwanee, Ga.

Realty Blogging

Well if your like me new to the Blogging scene, then I will definitely recommend you reading this book. Realty Blogging by Richard Nacht and Paul Chaney has really allowed me to get an understanding of the purpose of blogging and how to use it effectively. The book covers things from search engine marketing and explaining how google and other search engines rank your website, to exploiting the niches in Real Estate. The book even goes over the details of spiders (what search engines use to review content of website). Realty Blogging also gives you some great example on how a blog website should look like, as well as how to keep your blog pertinent to services/speciality. If you haven't read this book and are interested in getting into the blogging scene, then I definitely recommend you investing $20 to obtain some marketing knowledge.
