Where do you get your real estate news and information? I am talking about local and national deals as well as where you get information for determining supply and demand for different market types and regions. I follow Bisnow, Commercial Property Executive, PERE News, GlobeSt, and Curbed and am wondering if there are other good resources.
EDIT: I thought I'd compile what the first 19 people below have said:

I assume you mean news here, not research.
I'll add a few to the list...
Market specific ones... * Commercial Observer (NYC) * Crain's (Chicago) * [Fill in City] Business Jouranl (bizjourals.com)
And then, of course, you have all the various industry trade groups (I'm prob missing plenty, but here are a bunch) -- they all have news/blogs/feeds/whatever and several have magazines.
My Italian grandmother. They seem to know everything about everyone
Twitter for Real Estate News (Originally Posted: 02/06/2017)
I've sifted through most of the content posted here with regard to where many of you in the industry get your news. I've noticed that hardly anyone is mentioning twitter as a source. For those that have tried (like myself), is there simply too much "noise" on the site that you can't get to relevant information? Would the industry benefit from a CRE-specific twitter-esque platform? In terms of breaking news, I've found Twitter users to be some of the most timely--well ahead of the biz journals and industry sites.
I've used it, but honestly, how timely are you looking for? I can't really think of anything happening NOWNOWNOW that would be an issue for me in CRE that I wouldn't already be getting from another source just as quickly. IE FOMC fallout on rates, national emergency, entire market crash, etc. Granted I have CNBC/Bloomberg on in my office all day on the tv, so take that with a grain of salt. Anything important locally I'll see with the business journal or my local network, and anything nationally will be on Bisnow, NREI, WSJ RE section, etc. But nothing that I need to see on any kind of immediate timeline like if I was trading an event driven HF strategy. Real estate just isn't that fast.
What Memos, Investor Presentations, Research Publications Does Everyone Read? (Originally Posted: 05/04/2017)
I've been trying to get into the habit of reading or listening to a quarterly transcript a few times a week for one of the big public's like Equity, Essex, Public Storage, Douglas Emmet. I was wondering if you guys follow particular people/fund managers/REPE shops/debt shops/legal firms/developers that public weekly/monthly publications about the real estate market. I've been on a mission to try to absorb much more information about RE,.
For broader macro stuff, Bill Gross' outlook comes monthly and is pretty solid. You can try ProjectSyndicate as well. I find that your cities' version of the BusinessJournal has a CRE section and usually has the latest deal info. PwC/ULI also do an annual emerging trends report that is very thorough and I have found this to be the best. Interested to hear of who others follow to stay ahead of the curve.
