Open Thread
Hey, where'd summer go? I'm not ready for fall just yet. Can someone ask the powers to be to bring back the sun?
In the meantime, I know Clint is on vacation, so if you're looking for a place to chat here's an open thread to keep us busy while we wait for summer to return.

June Open Thread
Don't forget about the blog meet-up coming up in only 10 days! I'm looking forward to meeting all the folks that make running this blog so much fun.
Anybody seen summer? I hear they found it on the east coast. In the meantime, here's an open thread to keep you busy while we all shiver and hibernate in the damp cold.

Who'd like to guest post?
Would anybody like to submit a guest post? Or 2? Or 10?
Yours truly had a run in with a patch of gravel on my bike ride home on Thursday, and the gravel won. While I'd like to say that my biggest injury was to my ego (definitely bruised), my left arm did come out a bit worse for wear (minor fracture). My typing speed is way down with only one good hand, so the posts will likely slow down for a little while.
Which creates an opportunity for you guys and gals. Any hot topics you'd like to discuss? Buyer's looking for advice? Seller's looking for tips? Development info?
Think of it as an open thread with more visibility. We've got lots of smart readers and contributors out there and this is your chance to make it more of your blog.
If you're game send the post via email to me, and I will help edit. I can post photos or links to photos. The more complete the post the better.

May 1 Open Thread - Thank You!
It's officially May, and hopefully summer is right around the corner.
I want to take a minute to thank all of you for coming here to read, comment and contribute to the blog. The discussions have been civil and I've learned more about the market because of them. Knowing I've been able to help a few buyers better navigate the current rocky real estate market has made it all worth it.
But I have also noticed things quiet down lately, which I think is good. I feel that there was a perceptible change once the local market moved into negative territory as I and others no longer needed to scream that it was coming. You'd have to be an idiot not to acknowledge that Portland will follow the rest of the country towards lower prices. I know I got pretty burned out for a while, but I am more committed than ever to sharing my insights into the market and exposing the tricks that used house salespeople are using to try to boost business.
Keep sending in interesting sightings, news stories, and misinformation you see, and I will post whatever I can.
So what's on your mind as spring springs and we enter "peak buying season"?
