Its Official - Propertyfinder Out Grows ALL Other Major Property Portal Sites
A recent MyMetrix report from comScore Networks clearly shows that since News International and realestate.com.au took control of the business in November last year, propertyfinder.com has significantly out grown all other major property sites.
In February this year, propertyfinder had an audience of 1.2 million compared to just 587,000 in October 2005. This is a growth of 102 percent over the 4 month period.
During the same period, none of the other property portal sites acheived anywhere near the same level of growth. The next best was only 47 percent growth from primelocation with rightmove increasing its audience by only 23 percent.
The table below clearly shows that propertyfinder.com is the fastest growing major property portal in the UK.
| 000's | Oct-05 | Feb-06 | % Growth |
| Propertyfinder | 587 | 1,187 | 102% |
| Primelocation | 710 | 1,045 | 47% |
| Rightmove | 2,458 | 3,035 | 23% |
| Findaproperty | 1,279 | 1,511 | 18% |
| Fish4homes | 891 | 952 | 7% |

So its "growth rates are great" in the UK and "growth rates mislead" in Oz... Your blog seems a little inconsistant... But your sites are world beaters! all the best.

I think this is a fantastic portal and anything which adds healthy competition to rightmove is welcome. I have a good idea for a subdomain and could lend itself for the Australian and UK markets. Please do use my email address to get in touch. Alia
