Good signs

Just saw the ComScore data for December 2005, ranking the traffic to real estate sites across the Internet. It looks like traffic to all sites in the online real estate category is down about 15% between August and December 2005.

BUT, traffic to HouseValues sites (including HouseValues.com, JustListed.com, TheLoanPage.com and HomePages.com) is up 51% in that same time period. And since HomePages was relatively new, it only represented about 7% of the total HouseValues network traffic. And that's before the major advertising campaigns for HomePages started this month.

Now those are the kind of numbers we like...
