Tim Estin's Selected Newsfeeds
This is the Real Estate News Feeds Section. The RSS feeds are: WSJ, The Wealth Report by Robert Franks, WSJ Second Homes, NYT Real Estate/Vacation Homes, WSJ Buying & Selling Real Estate, WSJ Developments and WSJ The Intelligent Investor amongst others to be determined. The idea here is to provide one-stop for current vacation, resort, second home, luxury real estate readings. I have tried Aspen Times Business and Real Estate, Headwaters News - Reporting on the Rockies, and NYT Real Estate feeds, but currently there are tech issues with these that create havoc on this page. If you have RSS feed recommendations, please let me know,
