AR Riches?

There are currently 39 millionaires (those who have accumulated over 1 Mil points) on AR. On average less than one per state.

Actually, some states have more than one millionaire, and some have none.

So, which is the most competitive state?

If you look at the number of “millionaires”, Florida is a leader with 6 “millionaires” out of 24,011 members on AR.

California has 4 “millionaires” out of 34,034 and Virginia has 4 out of only 6,500 members.

But take Nevada with their 3 “Millionaires” and they only have 2,973 members on AR. In that sense 3 out of 2,973 is way more than Florida's 6 out of 24,011 and California's 4 out of 34,034, and even Virginia with 4 out of 6,500...

Close is Maryland with 5,005 members on AR and 3 of them “millionaires”.

Some "VIP" states like New York are not even in the list of millionaires yet, but this will soon change.

Also, the level of competitiveness on AR varies from state to state. For example, in Oklahoma the difference between #1 and #2 is more than 1 million points. In Alaska Jesse Clifton "retired", I believe, over 2 years ago, and he is still number one, while in Florida you only think about slowing down and you are in the dust...

Is this in any shape of from reflects the real estate market?

I doubt it.

I have been watching the first page. The 50th person is at around 850000. I think we will see all millonaires on the first page by year end.

VA has 2 more ActiveRain members coming up the leaderboard before the end of the year. Now that AR is not growing as fast as it has, there will be more millionaires as the membership stabilizes

Jon,

This is interesting, a million points is a worthy goal, there's not that many and it shows people that have stuck with it for a while with consistent effort. I think the quality of the blogs and the consistency determine whether people are getting clients from the blogs.

I think the market in places like Florida and Arizona reflect highly competitive agents who have until recently more time on their hands. They continued to do everything possible to be successful.

So interesting. Perhaps it is a reflection of the level of interest in establishing an online presence? I hvae a LONG way until I reach a million points!

Good morning Jon - Interesting stats. I've often felt that certain areas are more competitive on AR than others but never had the energy to put data to it!

I love my stats Jon, thanks for sharing this, along with your insights. There are no millionaires in Iowa and won't be for some time to come. There aren't many of us blogging at all, (but I'm not complaining, that's good for me).

This was an interesting blog with statistics. I know we've had a busy market in Florida. It's good that the agents have perservered to keep up with their marketing on AR. By the way, I'm, as my son would say, a newbie and have a very long way to go to 1M points. :-)
