Hi. I have been reading the entries on this blog, and thought that other readers might be interested in doing some networking. I have been getting loans done in Florida for a lot of buyers who have been struggling. If any of the readers on this blog would like to get in touch about helping their buyers qualify for the loan they need, call me at our office. The number is on our site http://www.creditmortgage.com. Thanks. I am open to your thoughts.

The realtor makes the common”blame the media” this case, websites, argument. If they’re so boring, how did they ever get to be so popular in the first place? Never would’
ve happened without a bubble beginning to burst. This is the only bubble so far that has taken THIS LONG to start it’s downward spiral. Thus, I suggest two things I’ve seen: one, it’s long enough to get anybody on the fence or even close to the fence to move to the bullish camp. That is how a bear market draws in its prey. 2nd, it’s like a fish in water, does the fish KNOW its in water? Well even if a fish had a brain capable of understanding that, it doesn’t really know it’s in water ’til it’s caught OUT of water. Same with a bubble, it was SOOO hard to know that we were in a tech bubble as we were going through it. Now, with hindsight, we see it clearly. But the same happened in the 1987 stock market crash… and same thing happened in the 1989 stock market crash. I could go on for each crash that has occurred throughout the centuries.

Each of them, BTW, had a real estate component to their crash. That is, at some point whatever we’re bubbly about, whether it’s tulip bulbs to oil to technology, The bubble money eventually spreads to real estate.

Did you know that Florida had Million $ homes in the 1920’s before the crash? They even had some (well at least one, my memory is sketchy) Million $ homes around the Tulip bulb area of Holland in the 1600s. See real estate DOES NOT “always go up” as the saying goes. Depends on your time frame. Yes I agree there MAY be a rebound, markets never go straight up NOR do they go straight down, but the overall path is clearly down.

I live in The Palm Beaches of Florida, perhaps site traffic is down due to the site content. Most of the real estate sites are boring or look the same.
The links provided are dull and the daily News headlines of “Home Prices Falling”
feed into a wait and see attitude, why look today “tommorow homes will be cheaper”.
Should the Chinese start buying American Real Estate, the Headlines would read “China Purchases The Met” I’ll bet traffic picks up.
Anyway, I am A Realtor in Palm Beach and should anyone like to get away to our stress-free lifestyle in The Palm Beaches, and get into this market before the rebound Email me RMuchel@netscape.com

Great post. We’ve seen interesting numbers in Australia too. But, on our site, realestate.com.au, the traffic has been rising not falling. In August we had 3.1 million unique browsers, and more than 334 million page views. Those are the highest numbers ever. Our residential site in New Zealand (185 thou in Aug) is also up. Our UK site hit 1.4 million uniques in Aug. Perhaps we can do a new chart with all the sites from the chart above, and adding in sites from Australia, NZ, UK, continental, Europe and Asia. It’d be fascinating to get a global picture of the real estate internet space.

Aaron,

This “post” is just another example of how bloggers make rash statements with little evidence. How are you measuring site traffic? Are you using Hitwise , ComScore, or Alexa data? What I do know is that your observation is based on virtually no empirical data.
