All Neighbors in Oxford's Woodbriar
Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

$102,250-$189,000. Admittedly, $102K is not the norm- there were only 2 sales in 2010 under $133,000. But that house that sold for $133,000 previously sold for $224,900 in 2005- a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home with an unfinished walk out. It was a bank owned house and more than likely needed some work/updating, but very few homes that sell are perfect. in 2004 you couldn't touch a house in Woodbriar for under $200K when houses sold for between $205,000-$303,000.
