I wanted to add a post for the market study by the NAHB’s Institute of Residential Marketing and Harris Interactive. It was conducted in association with Move.com and wrapped up in late 2005. It has been mentioned frequently in the industry and is a great resource when analyzing your own program for selling homes online.
