78% jump in Oliver Reports page views in 2015

· by · in

When I started writing Oliver Reports in late 2012 I had two questions: could I maintain my promised goal of publishing at least every week on Saturday at 8 a.m. and would anybody want to read my articles?

Well, 570 posts later I can say that I have not yet failed to publish early on Saturday, as well as at various other times, while I am delighted to report that 2015 saw a 78% increase in the number of posts viewed by my readers, to whom I say a big thank you.

In this instant internet age, we are all inundated by an avalanche of “information”, but very often we have no way of knowing how reliable that information is. If, of course, it comes from a trusted source – say the New York Times or Wall Street Journal – then we can assume that the reporter has researched thoroughly. But those sources are not free, and many, if not most, people expect to be able to gain access to information today without paying.

I first started writing for the Marblehead Reporter because I was frustrated by the many inaccuracies, inconsistencies  and misunderstandings I noticed when reading about real estate. I started writing to try to help people understand what was really happening in real estate markets. I wrote first about Marblehead and have gradually extended to covering the whole of Essex County, as well as commenting on State wide and national trends. I try to write about whatever is relevant, from home sales to property taxes to mortgage rates. And I also write more generally about real estate, whether it is who will be John Kerry’s new neighbor or details of one of Elvis’s houses.

Thanks for reading. Over the next few weeks, starting tomorrow, I shall be publishing my 2015 reviews. Feedback is always welcome.

If you – or somebody you know – are considering buying or selling a home and have questions about the market and/or current home prices, feel free to contact me on 617.834.8205 or [email protected].
