If that was on a local/MLS site, I would look there. If it was Realtor.com or Trulia, I would be there instead. But perhaps, as you suggest, the problem lies in the fact that most consumers do not know where to find the most complete accurate and up-to-date listings and do not even know where the best local sites are. So they bounce around from site to site. What I think happens is consumers who search online start on Google, type in local market keyword phrases like "town/city/neighborhood homes for sale" and probably bump into 1st page sites like Trulia & Realtor.com because of their excellent SEO vis-a-vis local market keywords. So, naturally they will get a lot of traffic. But does that high traffic mean they result in the most consumer-agent connections/sales? I'd love to know. Someone do a study.
