Dave,

Why don’t you ever post the monthly rental website traffic rankings anymore? It is interesting to see how Rentvine continues to climb the ladder.

That is a good question.

I have not looked in awhile actually.

I think this blog is going to be taking a different direction shortly. I plan on posting a lot of video interviews with property managers and I am going to be getting away from my coverage on my competitors.

I’m seeing similar increase in my local real estate website as well.

I’m seeing an increase due to changes in the housing situation. Homeowners are now becoming residents in homes for lease. Also, I am seeing more people “downsizing” due to uncertainities of where the prices of gas and other needed goods are headed.

Traffic levels or our market (Orlando, FL) are at record highs since I began the site in 2004. It has become really difficult for both, Buyers to get loans, and for Investors to sell, due to the inflation and lack of demand. The next year or so should be good times for sites like ours - no wonder the big plays last year by the larger players in our market.
