We know (or at least suspect) that more people are using the internet to search for a new house or home. But do we really know how many people are using the internet to search for that new house or apartment?
I have found the following article, by Monica Warzecha, full article published here, which sheds some light on this number.
In her article, the mentions 2 important numbers, the first being the amount of people searching for a new home online.
“It looks like home hunters are increasingly dependent on the digital world when it comes to finding a property”. According to the latest report from the National Realtors Association (NAR), 92 percent of would-be buyers used the Internet in their search for a home.
The annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers report, which looks at the survey responses of 8,767 people who purchased a home in the last year, noted that number edged up from 90 percent last year and rose up from 71 per cent in 2003.”
The second important number in the article is the amount of people who list their properties online.
“On the other side of process, the vast majority of home sellers used the web to connect with potential buyers. About 85 percent of sellers said their property was listed or advertised on the MLS website.”
Looking at these numbers, it is clear that the internet plays an extremely important part in buying and selling real estate. But also, to differentiate yourself (or your home in this case) from all the other homes online, you have to be noticed. And one sure way of doing that is by displaying the best possible pictures of your house online.
