1) Cloud CMA and the downfall of crappy real estate software – I have been excited to try this since I first heard the early rave reviews. Problem… if you are not in California you are out of luck.
2) Video: Price Differences Between Foreclosures and Non-Foreclosures – According to this Zillow video it appears even thought foreclosures control the market in many areas there is still a discount for them.
3) Obama’s State of the Union – Housing Gets Three Lines in 70 Minutes – This struck me too.

Either way someone needs to talk to his teleprompter and get them it in line.
