Long Realty (the company I work for ) just released the Market Share figures for the six largest real estate companies providing residential
real estate services in the greater Tucson area.
See the chart below.
This is based on residential property sales for all of 2007.
Long comes in at about 3 times more market share than it's next closest competitor, (Data obtained on 1/17/08 from Tucson MLS for all closed residential volume between 01/01/07 - 12/31/07 rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent and is deemed to be correct)
Unfortunately at this point, the graphs have only been released in a print version that does not display clearly on the web. But in both charts(the first is for all residential properties, the 2nd for those priced at $1.0mil+) Long Realty is the yellow band towering over the others.
Is bigger better?
No. We're not better because we're bigger.
We're bigger, because we're better.
