Top of the Props – new data
It has been a few months since our last Top of Props feature which showcases the most popular products in our directory with agents and IFA’s.
Since our last report in August, our algorithms have changed so that the newest and most updated developments are displayed first in the listings.
The predicable effect has been that our newer developments have become more popular as clients that have not updated their listings have been pushed down the search results.
Another change has been the introduction of new categories such as land, green investments, fractional and guaranteed rentals. In the last few weeks, there have been a number of interesting additions such as a
timber investment in Panama offering fixed returns of 16.8% per annum and commissions of up to 12%. It’s now easier to search by category. To browse our categories, click one of the links below.
Top 10 projects on Global edge – November
Traffic to global edge rose to its highest ever level in November, hitting
45,000 users and directory traffic rose sharply as a result. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the number of agents diversifying into distressed property opportunities, the most popular project was a listing advertising repossessions in Florida.
Developments in Portugal came in second and third respectively, perhaps reflecting the robust nature of the Portuguese property market compared to its neighbor, Spain.
A project on the Bodrum peninsula in Turkey was fourth and interestingly a development that has received
significant media attention recently, came in seventh.
