What time of day do people search for homes?

I saw this on visual.ly this morning and thought it was interesting.

If you click through to the site, you can fine-tune the chart to be state &/or computer-type specific.

Most interesting stat: almost 20% of all online traffic came via cell phones and tablets. That’s one in five, and the numbers are just starting to explode upwards – I won’t be surprised if it’s 50-50 in a few years.

Here’s a look at the recent trends county-wide.  I’m pulling a rolling 13-month history so we can see the last year’s trends plus a comparison of this month to the same month last year..

A look at the charts shows a similar story to what we saw in my Distressed Activity post last week; inventory levels have dropped, and we’re seeing that affect pricing and days on market.  Have a look…

Specific Zip Code reports are now available!  If you’d like to see how the sales activity in your zip code compares with the county as a whole, just click here to sign up, and you’ll receive your zip code report via email each month.

and now, on to the reports.  (click each chart to embiggen)
