AR is the key one for me. I also use WikiRealty to some extent. Z, T & RF I found the last posts in my area were 2009, so no sense wasting time there. I won't waste time on RF anyways. I don't like them and don't want to contribute to them and their possibly illegal buyer rebates (at least it would be illegal for me to do that).

Zillow, Trulia are great to interact with customers. Redfin just got rid of your area on the forum due to inactive bloggers with the market. You probably want to reach out to customers than realtors?

I’m hitting a new blog or news site all the time. There isn’t a single one I think is better than others. Google the topics you are interested in on any given day and see where Google comes up with.
