VisiStat.com released a yearly overview of Real Estate Web traffic stats, which shows home buyers are increasingly turning to online listings. Time to get web-savvy and pump up those websites!

The results were announced at the Inman News 2008 Real Estate Connect conference. VisiStat provides real-time Web statistics works closely with brokers and agents nationwide. “It's no surprise that the figures in this report coincide exactly with what I have been hearing from them, and that is, home buyers are using the Internet to educate themselves and find properties, often long before they engage an agent," said Tina Bean, Director of Sales and Marketing for VisiStat.

Some key points of the report include:

    -- Overall traffic growth for 2007 (over 2006) was 36.8%

    -- Return visitors made up 47% of all Website visits

    -- The average visitor clicked through 14 site pages during each visit

    -- Monday and Tuesday were the most trafficked days of the week, with the

       highest activity in the 9pm hour

    -- March received the most visitor traffic of any month of the year
