More Malaysians Turning Online To Search For Properties

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- More Malaysians are moving online to search for properties, says the Group Executive Chairman of iProperty.com Malaysia Patrick Grove.

"Despite the economic downturn, iProperty.com Malaysia remains popular as more and more Malaysians move online to search for properties," he said.

Grove added that the company, which offered the largest online database of properties for sale and rent in the country, has been recording an average month-on-month web traffic increase of over 15 per cent.

Meanwhile, iProperty.com Malaysia emerged winner of the Online Media of the year 2009 award, beating other favorites such as Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft.

"While most companies are struggling to sustain their business and improve their market standing after the recent economic downturn, iProperty.com Malaysia has managed to remain as the number one property portal in Malaysia," Grove said.

iProperty.com Malaysia, launched in 2007, has over 80,000 property listings online.
