I am about to begin the National Association of REALTORS convention here in surreal Las Vegas. As I look out my hotel window at that big Paris baloon, and the Eiffel Tower (yep, just like in the aerial shots from CSI), I have great expectations of this meeting of 35-50,ooo real estate agents. I will try to post as often as I can on what I am hearing about the general state of real estate in America. Hopefully I won’t have to hear the words “housing slump” too much.
