Beginning

I've been posting available inventory in Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades since April 2006 in comments under "Tracking Los Angeles County" at Bubble Markets Inventory Tracking. Thanks to encouragement from its blogger OCRenter, and Bearmaster at South Bay Beach Cities Real Estate Bubble urging others to cover geography beyond the South Bay, here begins the Westside Bubble blog.

I'll be covering available inventory of the larger Westside with weekly updates, spotlighting highlight/lowlight properties that deserve attention, and have comments about the larger economy and housing bubble.

I've posted a number of links I find useful in the sidebar. My favorites worth reading daily include Calculated Risk and Charles Hugh Smith.
