Most bloggers who've been around the block for at least eight months or so will eventually come to ponder this question: Where will all of this blogging stuff go? Here are my 10 predictions on the future of real estate blogging:

1. The number of real estate bloggers will multiply tenfold in 2007 from last year.
2. More mortgage brokers will team up with agents on collaborative blogs.
3. Natural selection will rule -- great bloggers will rise, others will fade out.
4. Bloggers Connect will be the largest blogging event for real estate yet (shameless plug, sorry).
5. The blogging community will give voice to those in the industry who previously didn't have one -- making them a force to be reckoned with. This has already happened, but will grow stronger this year. The open dialogue will spark change the industry has never before seen.
6. The National Association of Real Estate Bloggers will form.
7. The National Association of Realtors will create a blogging designation (CREB for "Certified Real Estate Blogger") to get in on the trend.
8. At least one among us will publish a memoir about blogging.
9. A sensational TV program about real estate bloggers will debut.
10. The ultra-successful bloggers will drop all other marketing and lead generation channels in favor of blogs.
