Article thumbnail

What are the top real estate websites by traffic? This information is hard to come by! Most of what you can find online is completely outdated and list websites that no longer exist, and haven’t for years! No longer, read below for the most current 2018 data on top real estate website traffic.

Top Real Estate Websites have Grown in Power

National real estate websites have grown in traffic at an amazing pace and have a huge impact on the national and local real estate markets. Most buyers are not using their local MLS websites or local Realty or real estate agent websites to find properties. Most buyers are looking on these mega sites. So it is important to know which of these sites is truly king and what the pecking order is. For reliable home search results, most Realtors I know recommend Realtor.com or a local search site like the MLS or something a local Realty company or agent has branded – but is still local and extremely accurate. Zillow is the biggest player below, but is not known for having accurate data.

What My Clients Are Saying

Stephen was just simply a fantastic realtor to work with in selling our home. If we had another 50 properties to sell, Stephen would be in charge of all of them. He was so professional in handling every detail of our sale, and he was so responsive to every question that came up in the course of our transaction. My wife and I are very thankful that we found Stephen.
