Blog Profile... Dr. Housing Blog!

What could be better than a doctor specializing in the housing market? To me, it doesn’t get much better! When it comes to short term and long-term illnesses pertaining to housing, Dr. Housing Bubble can cure any problem! Well not really, but he/she is on top of his/her housing news. I’m not sure who the mastermind is behind this blog, but this person is very informed. The doctor posts daily responses on new developments in the housing and real estate world. Dr. HB shares his/her opinions and frequently references news articles pertaining to housing. Like a podiatrist or an optometrist, Dr. Housing Bubble specializes in Southern California real estate.

            Because Dr. Housing Bubble is a “real” doctor (obviously), the blog is pretty academic in nature. It’s the most scholarly blog I’ve ever come across! Let’s be real, he uses graphs in almost every post! Even though the content is heavy and can often times be overwhelming, Dr. HB talks about housing in a relatable and comprehensible way. Every once in a while, he will throw in a joke or a sarcastic comment to lighten the mood. In a past post, the doctor complains that sellers, agents, and bank handlers often do not fix up homes before they attempt to sell them. Doctor HB jokes that the grass is so unkempt and high that “a California mountain lion could be living there”. Okay, it’s not the funniest joke you’ve ever heard, but it still makes things more enjoyable to read.

            Like any great doctor, he/she frequently gives advice to people looking to invest in real estate. The Doc makes sure to give the most relevant and accurate recommendations based on the information at hand. Doctor HB has many clients that follow his/her blog. He/she is a pretty well-known housing doctor. The good thing about the doctor is that you don’t have to wait for an appointment!

            Even though the blog uses lots of real estate jargon, you don’t have to be a real estate expert to understand the content. In a recent post, Dr. Housing Bubble states that the “desire to buy has not been removed from the current market but the psychology surrounding American real estate has definitely been shattered”. He/she goes on to say, “This is why even with low interest rates and many homes available to purchase, home sales are still anemic”. Dr. Housing Bubble does a good job of analyzing current housing trends.

            The Doc always has an explanation for most things that happen in the housing world. He blames top real estate associations for “overstating sales for multiple years. This is like a doctor saying he over diagnosed 15 to 25 percent of his patients with a severe illness”. Dr. HB is often critical of our housing problems and realizes who is at fault. However, he remains optimistic.

            Like Dr. Housing Blog, I hope to make my blog informative and stimulating. My blog will be more on the informal and light-hearted side, but still present concrete information. While Dr. Housing Bubble focuses solely on the housing bubble, I plan to touch on deep-rooted problems within housing such as affordable housing and homelessness.
