Reactions from the Blogosphere to "Foreclosures and Shortsales in the Twin Cities Housing Market"

As you probably already know, last month we released "Foreclosures and Shortsales in the Twin Cities Housing Market" -- a special research report that examines the growing prevelance of these lender-mediated properties, using a unique new methodology to track them in MLS data.

We all knew that reactions to the report would likely be passionate, thoughtful and important. With Web 2.0 advances giving us all new platforms with which to share ideas, we can now view these reactions publicly, on the infamous interweb through blog posts, follow up comment discussions, message boards, etc.

In the interest of spirited debate and intellectual curiousity, here's a few notable blog reactions to the report:
