Congratulations go out to the winners of the first annual Housing Wire Real Estate Blogging Awards!
I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to vote for this site. While we didn’t win, we did take a very respectable third place in two categories, Best Regional and Best Kept Secret. The most impressive part is that we took those two places with write-in votes!

Do I get to kick this off? Don’t let it go to your head grim-ol’ boy
To put this in perspective….it’s not as if you came in third place for best kept secret AQUARIUM!
jb,
Congrats on a great showing!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
If there was a ‘Most Contagious’ category, you would have won it hands down!
What % of the tally came from Hudson County??? Fantastic showing!! Congrats!!
Vote early, vote often.

Congratulations!
Jim,
I have to confess I voted twice. I am from Jersey after all. But not on best kept secret, I thought everyone knew about you. Any way congrats and you deserved even better IMO.
congrats :)
most excellent
congrats grimmy!!
Grim — congratulations. You’ve been posting about the bubble as long as I’ve been reading about it, and that is two years, at least. Good for you — it’s great to see hard work get the kudos.
You will crush all comers next year.
Again, congrats!
Congrats Grim.
You will be on the ticket next year for sure.
Nice job guys. I would like to see the breakdown of votes.
Congrats JB,
thanks and keep up the good work.
I voted for you, and I agree that that is a great showing on write-ins. Now if you were a politician, people would be throwing money at you for your next campaign….
Congrats James.
I hope Star Ledger publishes this report :-)
Congratulations Jim, and thank you for all the hard work, this blog is always a good read.

CONGRATULATIONS JIM– I have told many of my friends (and strangers) about this GREAT site. When I get home from work I can’t wait to check it out !!!
CHEERS to a Kind and GREAT Gentleman !!!
My vote was in. Awesome. Remember in the movie
Braveheartwhen Wallace and the Scots held up those long spears and impaled men and horses? Do you remember the look on the faces of the English military leaders? Do you think realtors in North Jersey have that same look after seeing the results of this blog? LOL!!! It’s like hearing your fathers footsteps coming up the stairs knowing you’re gonna get it. LOL!!
Italics off, I hope.
Congratulations … Grim
Congratulations. However, I am sad to report that although I had the opportunity to vote on 3 separate connections, I voted only once. But don’t you worry, I’ll beat my conscience in time for next year’s poll.
-P
Congrats. And I only voted once!
Awsome !!
Good work JB and all.
Jim,
Glad to see your efforts are being recognized. Tomorrow, Wall Street Journal!
JB-
Congrats. Please keep up the great work.
JM
Tomorrow, Wall Street Journal!
Been there, done that. :)
(WSJ, BW, and Time are probably the most notable).

However, that was during the .com boom, for other endeavors.

congrats, James. I voted once & wrote you in for both these categories.
IMO you deserve the awards just for summarizing those ol’ time news reports from the last bust. keep up the good work.
Mazel tov, JB.
