Top Ten Most Popular VaultWare Powered Apartment Search Websites in First Quarter 2009
April 17, 2009, Scottsdale, AZ -- Realty DataTrust, makers of VaultWare™, the multifamily industry’s leading online apartment availability and reservation system, today released the list of the ten most popular apartment search websites powered by VaultWare during the 1st quarter of 2009. The rankings are based on the number of times renters check specific apartment availability online per property from the respective website.
Apartment search websites that prominently display the VaultWare online availability functionality allow their users to instantly see current rental pricing and available apartments versus filling out an email form or calling to request this information. Checking availability is typically the first step in the rental process after viewing general information about the property on these websites.
During the 1st quarter, if a property had advertised on these top ten Internet Listing Services, 854 prospective renters would have viewed their apartment availability online. This number is up by 19.7% over the 4th quarter of 2008. These websites are part of the 160+ websites in the United States with online leasing functionality powered by VaultWare.
