4. Most buyers searching websites prefer not to be tethered to a desktop; 58 percent of all homebuyers found their abode via a mobile device, and a notable 14 percent located an agent through the same means.

5. Buyers utilizing the Internet found detailed property information, maps, neighborhood information and virtual tours very useful, but photos still top the list, with 89 percent of homebuyers pointing to pictures as the most important website feature.
