What were the Top searches on RealVisionHomes.com in the last two weeks?

While this is not an authoritative statistic on what projects might be considered ‘hot’ in the Dubai and UAE market, it is an indicative pointer as to what may well be interesting projects that people are searching for or investing in.

Using Search Results to predict Trends:

It may still be a long shot to accurately predict the rise of a Real Estate Project, it’s popularity and investment potential solely from word of mouth or developer promises alone.

However, a tool such as website search results can contribute a lot toward knowing what people are looking for, or what the general public opinion and desire is for a particular real estate project.

Again, there is no conclusive evidence that project popularity is directly proportional to the number of searches showing up in the statistics of a particular website. Why is that? The answer is simple. A particular website may have only listings related to a few projects. Thus it is obvious that any search statistics would reflect references made only when these listings (projects) are searched for.

Still even from the modest inventory of listings on realvisionhomes.com, the last two weeks searches show that 2 bedroom apartments in international city were highly sought after. (the previous two months The Palisades was high up on the search list)

How can Agents Benefit from Search Data:

What a Real Estate Agent wouldn’t do to have access to Google’s search statistics on real estate!…

Well, wishful thinking aside, it would be nice to predict trends based on search data. RealVisionHomes.com will make available on a monthly basis, Search keywords that have made people land on the site. It can contribute at the very least, in spotting the next good investment or project to concentrate on!

Agent Profile Search - What is your ‘net reputation?

Another interesting observation is that search results on our site show Agent names! This can mean multiple things:

• People want to find listings only by that agent
• People like dealing and trust that particular agent
• The exact opposite of the previous point, and they are actually conducting due diligence on the agent!
• lastly, the agent him/her self could be on a egosurf expedition!

Either way, the market in the UAE as we know it is slowly shifting from the ‘bulk buyers’ to individuals who are intelligently searching for property and the people who sell it to them. As a real estate professional entering the mature phase of UAE real estate, in order to stay in the game, professionalism and intelligent usage of the internet will ensure you are in the running.
