Buyers like to shop around when it comes to finding their home. Research conducted shows on average they view between 4 and 8 homes before selecting which one to purchase.

Of course, some buyers choose immediately, and are happy with the first home they see.

In general, 31% of buyers see up to three properties before they buy one. Almost a quarter– 24%– see between 10 and 14 homes before they buy one. 10% of buyers will see 16 or more homes before they pick one to buy.

First time buyers are more likely to pick the first one that they view.

More than half of buyers find their homes on the internet. Real estate listing sites and realtor websites provide databases and pictures that make home buying easier than it’s ever been.

• 34% of buyers found their new abode with the help of a real estate agent.

• Yard signs and open house signs attract about 8% of buyers, and 4% of homes were purchased with word of mouth.

• Two percent of homes were purchased by marketing directing from the home building.

Finally, one percent of home buyers know the seller directly.

There are many resources available for buyers searching for homes. From driving around and seeing “for sale signs” to real estate websites and word of mouth, buyers have many houses competing for their attention.
