You are a realtor and this is a site about the real estate market in our region. Your site is interesting and informative; however, I think the simple fact is that more people interested in buying or selling a home visit your site vs. people who just want to stay up with the current trends in real estate in our area. Either way, I don't have much data to back my interpretation of those two numbers either. Jim
