Reports of Our Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Oops.

We haven't blogged in a while. Sorry.

We're back in the swing of things with this gem from Forbes.com. Spokane is one of ten "Rising in Value Real Estate Markets."

"Percolating local job markets get some of the credit. (In fact, the more resilient property markets tend to be in places with above-average job growth.) Technology has been a driver in booming real estate markets like Spokane, Wash., and Salem."

"The Real Estate Bloggers" extracted the information and made a nice list here. We've only included a few that might be relevant to our readers.
