Market Metrics
1.2 million reasons to order a Property Website
1.2 million people visited Open Homes Property Websites in Q3. That’s over a million reasons to ensure your next listing has a dedicated space for all its marketing content!
If you’re not fully convinced yet, remember that last year, sellers ranked marketing their home as the top priority for their real estate agents, even above pricing the home competitively or selling within a specific timeframe (NAR)

Video Tours are getting all the views
In the third quarter, Open Homes Video Tours received over 188,000 views. That’s like every person in Berkeley and Walnut Creek watching a Video Tour! Is your marketing tapping into an audience that large?
With so many people viewing Video Tours, it’s no wonder homes with videos get more interest from potential buyers. In fact, its estimated that 403% more inquiries are driven from listings with video (NAR)
And here’s the kicker: 73% of homeowners are more likely to work with agents who use video, yet only 10% of agents report using video on their listings. Talk about a missed opportunity!
