There are a couple of custom searches moving their way up the long tail of real estate search. The two new categories were religious buildings and hardware stores. The religious building included mosques and server types of churches. While the hardware stores only included Home Hardware and HomeDepot. Our previous up and coming category of fire stations and gas stations has completely dropped off the search list.
We hope you enjoy these November real estate trends and we look forward to your feedback!
