We've all heard that today over 80% of homebuyers are beginning their home search online. They spend about 2 to 3 weeks looking on the internet before contacting a real estate professional.

According to the National Association of Realtors buyers Where are Homebuyers finding that perfect house by Sandy Shoreslearned about the house that they eventually purchased as follows:

34 percent - from their real estate agent

32 percent - from the internet

15 percent - from the yard sign in front of the house or an open house

 7 percent -  from a friend, relative or acquaintance

 7 percent -  purchased through a builder or the builder's agent

Hi Sandy. When I read the title of your post, my first thought was that buyers in this market certainly come from Heaven!  But I did appreciate the breakdown on how they find their home once they get down here. : )

Sandy, That is interesting, I would have thought number one would be the internet.  It's also good news that shows there are some pretty terrific realtors out there.
