_[Matrix is hosting the Carnival of Real Estate the week of September 25, 2006. Its a great way to read some great posts on real estate topics of the day and not get sick on cotton candy.]_

[What is a carnival](http://blogcarnival.com/bc/p_about.html)?

[Here’s a great carnival Q & A](http://www.carnivalofrealestate.com/2006/07/carnival_of_rea.html). Its basically a a bunch of blogs that take turns displaying the favorite posts of the group each week. Carnivals can vary by topics and of course and the most relevant to Matrix readers is the Carnival of Real Estate.

This week’s host: [NuBricks](http://www.nubricks.com/) is able to bark out the [best posts submitted by carnival members](http://www.nubricks.com/archives/178/the-carnival-of-real-estate-edition-8) all the way from Europe.

Next week’s host: [Real Estate Tomato](http://realestatetomato.typepad.com/) who will determine once and for all whether tomatoes are to be considered a fruit or a vegetable as well as select the best posts for the carnival.
