Home Buyers Searching Online

When it comes to selling your home, today's buyers are searching online. Is your home there to greet them? According to a study by realtor.org:

  • Over 90% of buyers rely on the Web as their primary research tool
  • Over 55% of buyers begin their search online (see infographic below)
  • Between 2011 and 2012 real estate searches on Google grew 22%

And here are some statistics from one of our own Web sites:

  • Over 135,000 buyers visited our site (StuartHomeSearch.com) in May, 2013
  • 60% of those were return visitors
  • Our site appeared in over 4,000 keyword searches

Keeping up with and utilizing Web technologies to market homes online can be an overwhelming proposition for even the most tech savvy agent. Discover how we market homes online to buyers and for sellers.

I wonder home many actually see the house before purchasing it though. I find buyers here are weeding out rather than finding one. I have seen many buyers overlook better homes that were there all along till the one they saw on the net just didn't do it so they continued looking and found one they had over looked

Our buyers (many are out of town) will often accumulate listings online, narrow down their choices, then have us schedule showings. It is our job to help with the selection process and suggest other properties they may have overlooked that would otherwise be a good fit.
