According to Comscore, overall traffic going to real estate sites in the month of February is up, year over year. This may be good news for the market, showing an increase in overall consumer interest in the real estate market.
Not much new here, however top apartment and rental related sites are showing an overall decrease in consumer interest, which I did find interesting.
