Home and Apartment searches reach record levels in May

It appears that consumers have definitely found their way to finding properties on the Web. Real Times has surveyed the most popular home listing and apartment listing sites and found they were visited approximately 8 million times just in the month of May.

This total is even more staggering because it does not include Yahoo (who did not make their statistics available), the Living Networks, and other various home and apartment sites. It is clear that consumers are embracing this mechanism for searching for properties.
