This week, RE Revealed celebrates our last time hosting the Carnival of Real Estate which is where real estate bloggers around the globe’s articles are submitted for judging and is a great opportunity for bloggers and consumers to read a variety of content. This is our final time hosting as RE Revealed is closing the doors on real estate blogging and focusing strictly on social media. Several entries were thrown out as spam (sorry, a plagiarized story with hundreds of Google ads up top doesn’t count as a fair submission) so without further ado, here are the winners of the CoRE:

Medalists (minus speedos)

1. GOLD MEDAL: Jonathan Dalton’s “Cocktail Parties, Bar Conversations, the BCS and Phoenix Real Estate” wins the magical golden medal not because he rocks a Michael Phelps speedo everywhere he goes but because he personifies the problem that lies in peoples’ amateur analysis of the market. This article *must* be read to the very end, it’s great!
2. SILVER MEDAL: Ardell DellaLoggia’s “Paradigm Shift: Changing the Human Experience” is pretty much a tie for the gold medal, but Dalton’s last name comes first in the alphabet. This article saw a lot of traction this week in the blogiverse and on Twitter, go read and find out why.
3. BRONZE MEDAL: Jim Reppond’s “The P-I Globe and the Bubbleator” talks about the sentimental value of a local landmark and does a great job of drawing in his audience.
