It's amazing that Realtor.com is number one and yet only a 7% share of traffic. How things have changed!

Could consumers in transition be thinking about buying? In February, remax.com jumped from the seventh spot to the fifth spot on the Top 20 Hitwise Real Estate Rankings - passing up Rent.com for the first time in five months.

Hitwise, a subsidiary of Experian, has been collecting and analyzing data directly from Internet Service Providers (ISPs) since 1997. The data is based on the percentage of online traffic to the domain name.
