This from Inman News: "The most visited site, Realtor.com, had an 11 percent year-over-year decrease in unique visitors, with about 6.6 million people visiting the national property listings site in August this year, according to comScore. The entire Move.com network of sites had only a 1 percent decline with 10.4 million unique visitors. HomeGain, a company that matches real estate agents to consumers, also saw a 2 percent decline in traffic from last year to 4.1 million in August.
"Despite declines at a few top real estate Web sites, plenty of sites in the top 10 posted increases in visitors during the first year of the slowing market. HouseValues sites – which include JustListed.com, HouseValues.com and HomePages.com – saw traffic increase, as well as AOL Real Estate, Yahoo! Real Estate, Rent.com, Apartments.com, and HPCInter@ctive, a division of Primedia that publishes a number of rental print guides. National foreclosure service RealtyTrac saw very little change in traffic and comScore had no data on MSN Real Estate’s traffic numbers for the previous year."
