Cue the trumpets and beat the drums ... the Arizona Republic today announced that their real estate reporter, Catherine Reagor, will have her own Arizona Real Estate blog.

From what I can see, she's actually had the blog for some time, which means those of us practicting real estate have had more time (or topics or inspiration or insight ... take your pick) to write about real estate than those who are paid to cover the real estate market for a living.

I believe that would be an excellent working definition of irony.
