\nWell, it is that time again… the 19th Carnival of Real Estate<\/a> is here and we are pleased to be the host. Actually, I had no idea how many submissions came in for this. This weeks carnival had a ton of submissions making it quite hard to pick 10. (I know there are 11) I also included the day each blog started as I find it interesting to see that some of the most popular real estate blogs are actually quite new. It was a pleasure hosting the real estate carnival.<\/p>\n
