ime a lot of people's engagement with properties when property hunting is driven by the alerts they set up on websites (rightmove etc.) so when we were looking to move, for example, we set up dailly alerts for new properties in the areas we were targeting. we'd drive our search off the results of those. very rarely (if ever) would we go onto the website and do search/deep dive on all the listed properties in those areas, trawling through the pages. also ime a lot of the activity on property listings takes place in a flurry in the first two weeks (probably because most people engage with the market as outlined above). I always think (and sure most people do the same) that if I do see a property that has been on for a while (i) must be an issue with it not apparent from the photos or (ii) mmmmm chance for a bargain maybe.
