Advisory firms maintain that the online real estate segment has witnessed a two-fold increase in the number of deals in 2014, as compared to 2013. The value of the deals has also increased from $19 million in 2013 to $232 million in 2014
Experts say its more about the consumer sentiment, belief and greater transparency which is culminating into the radical growth in the segment. Users are no longer merely interested in searching for houses, they are also buying houses online now.
