What Real Estate-Related Things Does Each State Google More Than Any Other?
Every year an increasing number of home shoppers across America use the internet to search for the perfect home. However, people in different states don’t search online in identical ways. Estately was curious how people in each state differed in how they used the internet to find a place to live so it used Google Trends data from the past decade to find out what each state searched for online more than others. The data showed log cabins are popular in the Appalachian states, mobile homes are en vogue in the south, and yurts are popular in the Pacific Northwest. These were just some of the discoveries we uncovered. Read on to see what housing-related queries each state searched for more than any other…
