Top Ten Most Popular Apartment Search Websites in Fourth Quarter 2008

January 12, 2009, Scottsdale, AZ -- Realty DataTrust, makers of VaultWare™, the multifamily industry’s leading online availability and reservation system, today released the list of the ten most popular apartment search websites during the 4th quarter of 2008. The rankings are based on the number of times renters "check availability" online per property. When rental prospects check availability through VaultWare powered websites, they see current rental pricing and availability versus filling out an email form to request this information. Checking availability is typically the first step in the rental process after viewing the property online.

To help put these numbers into perspective, if a property had advertised on these top ten Internet Listing Services during the 4th quarter, 713 unique rental prospects would have viewed their apartment availability online. These top ten websites are part of the 160+ VaultWare powered websites with online leasing functionality in the United States.
