New real estate wiki for real estate industry is launched. 

History of wikis in real estate
BiggerPockets (launched in 2006) claims to be the first real estate wiki but it unfortunately closed down in May 2007 due to lack of sufficient content.  Introduced shortly therafter, and still going strong, is InmanWiki (part of InmanNews, InmanTV and InmanBlog).  

With this week’s news that home prices fell 4.5 percent in the third quarter, a lot of people with real estate to sell have to make some tough decisions. Do they cut their asking price enough to get a contract, or do they hold out for the inevitable recovery?

The big question is, how long will they have to wait? Perhaps the best way to answer that question is to look at the last period in which home prices began to fall, as measured by the widely followed S&P/Case-Shiller index of home prices.

Every year the RealSure team surveys the residential industry, seeks out any changes, analyzes new business models, interview hundreds of industry leaders, researches and reads thousands of articles and send out tens of surveys. Well the survey is currently underway and your opinions and comments will help provide a more accurate assessment of certain paradigm shifts that are currently occurring in the real estate industry.

In conversations with Realtors during the past several weeks it became obvious that a key service utilized in marketing real estate is completely backwards and could work against exposing a property to perspective buyers. The solution to this issue has also been around for more than fifteen years but was shelved or under utilized during the ten or more year expansion we experienced in real estate sales and prices.
