Zillow is tracking towards a 8.5-9 million unique visitor month (March 09) according to Omniture. A record month for us.

Somethings fishy... shouldn't the total of a percentage add up to 100% This adds up to around 27. So the "other" categories would add up to 73% Where are those?

xmplary: My guess is that the other sites that rank fall into other categories, such as newspapers. That or there are 73+ other sites that each have below 1.5% of the market share.

I think it doesn't add up to 100% because % of visits is for ALL internet users not just over real estate sites.

Also, it is not really meaningful to ADD UP the %s as it is very likely in this niche that they will visit 2 or more sites, i.e. they overlap.So if let's say 9% of all internet users on average visit 3 real estate sites each, that will cause the total to be 27%.

In other words, Keith & xmplary, the total is closer to 10% not 100%

Redfin only offers search for about 1/7th of the US population, so we're at a disadvantage when compared to national sites. But we are, I think, the fastest-growing major real estate site in the U.S.

Zillow and some of those other sites that give show home values really need to put a big warning on their sites. They are so frequently off when it comes to real estate values.
