ComScore Global Top 10 Players
April 22, 2009 by Emma Sorensen
We often report on the market leaders in each region, but who leads the global real estate race for web traffic?
ComScore figures from February 2009, ranked by total worldwide unique visitors, show that it’s a diverse group, dominated by US and Chinese websites.
Top of the list is leading Chinese property portal soufun.com. Founded in 1999, soufun.com also has the status of being one of the world’s top 100 online destinations. It is China’s most comprehensive database of new and pre-owned homes, homes to rent, and home furnishings and fittings information.
realestate.yahoo.com comes in second, followed by another Chinese website, focus.cn, which specialises in real estate information and interior design.
The Move Network comes in fourth, with Chinese portal SINA real estate coming in fifth place.
In sixth place is Chinese classifieds website ganji.com.
There’s a surrpise European entry at number seven for Germany’s immobilienscout24.de.
Eighth place goes to MSN Real Estate, ninth place to Enormo’s websites, and tenth place goes to AOL Real Estate.
