First of all, thanks to everyone who voted or entered a blog in the contest.  It was a definite success and was a great way to connect with other professionals in the real estate industry.  We look forward to running it again next year.  Without any further ado, the winners are below!

We used a random number generator and the lucky winner of the $500 participation prize is Peter Toner and his San Diego Real Estate blog.

For editor’s choice, the prize goes to Rich Rosa of the Massachusetts Home Buyer Guide. We really like Rich’s mix of analytical market related posts and local interest pieces.

The popular vote winner is NJ Real Estate Report.  This was a tight race between first and second but as of Sunday, June 1 at 12:00 A.M. NJ was in the lead.  James, the author of NJREreport.com, has graciously asked us to send his $500 prize to the Newark Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

We’re proud to announce the FHA Mortgage Center.com Best Blogs Contest.  Our goal is to highlight the best real estate related blogs on the web.  The contest is based on the quality of the content of the blogs so there’s no special post or linking required!

Feel free to submit your own blog or encourage any bloggers you know to add their sites via the submit page.  We’re offering three awards of $500 each.  The first award is the “Fan Favorite” which is based solely on the popular vote that a blog earns, the second is Editor’s Choice for our staff’s favorite blog, and finally there is a random award to reward anyone for taking the time to submit their blog.  Best of luck and thanks for taking the time to take a look at our site.

We decided to create a loan glossary to help everyone learn more about mortgages.  It’s a work in progress, we only have  a, b, c, d, e, f, and g finished, but the rest are coming soon.  The rest of the glossary is being written so please check back soon.  Let us know if you see any errors.
