I did a walk through my neighborhood early one morning, looking for newspapers in the driveway. About 1/2 did not get the paper. Of the two papers in our area, Orange County Register, and L. A. Times, they were also split about 50/50. When I ask clients from all types of homes where they saw the listing, the very large majority say on the internet. Surprisingly, not mostly from Realtor.com!

I work in the Tampa Market and represent the local websites of local radio stations. Have you ever given any consideration to contacting a radio station website in the Palo Alto area to get in front of local real estate buyers? We've had quite a bit of success with developers, both single and multi family...and with rental communities. I'd be curious to hear what you think about radio sites vs. newspaper sites - Angela Loy, Senior Interactive Account Manager - Cox Tampa Bay Hi Kevin!

Something that may be of interest to you- http://blog.brianlebars.com/2007/04/are-newspaper-property-listings-thing.html Comcast is now offering “Property on Demand.” It moves agents away from print media to another form of advertising. Are certain markets still drawn to traditional print? I have found my cliental is better served by technology. However, because I work with a variety of agents, I still see the need for print. There are certainly consumers who still enjoy picking up the paper with a cup of JOE and planning a weekend of home shopping. You may have left out one new form of advertising.
