We've all heard that today over 80% of homebuyers are beginning their home search online. They spend about 2 to 3 weeks looking on the internet before contacting a real estate professional.
According to the National Association of Realtors buyers 
learned about the house that they eventually purchased as follows:
34 percent - from their real estate agent
32 percent - from the internet
15 percent - from the yard sign in front of the house or an open house
7 percent - from a friend, relative or acquaintance
7 percent - purchased through a builder or the builder's agent

Hi Sandy. When I read the title of your post, my first thought was that buyers in this market certainly come from Heaven! But I did appreciate the breakdown on how they find their home once they get down here. : )
Hi Sandy, good information. It's worth to look into the NAR website more often for this kind of information. Thanks!
Evening Sandy, Any idea if these stats are changing or remaining relatively constant ?
Good information..thank you very much for sharing!
Sandy - I've also read that it is less than 5% from print media...
Great stats Sandy. Very good insight!

Sandy, That is interesting, I would have thought number one would be the internet. It's also good news that shows there are some pretty terrific realtors out there.
