Florida stays top of the pile for u.s. Online searches

Florida has retained its top spot as America’s most popular destination for international property buyers researching the market on the web.

According to the U.S. residential listings site Point2, “Florida was the most attractive state for international visitors in Q4 2011, retaining the top spot among all U.S. states, for the second consecutive quarter.”

Homes in “Florida attracted 31.04% of all international traffic to the U.S. in Q4, yielding just under 2% of its Q3 share to competing states,” Point2 told OPP this week.

“Arizona held its position as the second most popular online destination, and increased its share of traffic from 15.15% in Q3, to 19.44%. Nevada also carried over its Q3 spot, holding to third place, with a marginal increase in its share of traffic (8.61% versus 8.22%).”
