Our shrinking global village is an abiding source of amazement, and I often marvel at the diversity of countries represented by the readers (or perusers) of this blog.
Just for fun, I decided to check the countries of origin for the past 30 hours.
Most visitors (or at least the internet service) hail from the United States. But the balance of the world, according to our SiteMeter account, is also well-represented.
Offered in the order of their visits are luxury readers and seekers hailing from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Bangladesh, American Samoa, Croatia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Spain, Egypt, China, Europe(?), Canada, Argentina, Ireland, India, Italy, Norway, United Arab Emirates, El Salvador, Czech Republic, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Australia, Russian Federation, Hungary, Philippines, Syrian Arab Republic, Polant, Brazil, Georgia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Romania, Macedonia and Portugal.
There were several “unknowns” and one major surprise: No visitors from Mexico during the 30 hour period studied.
We are grateful to all visitors and readers at Luxury Home Digest, but most likely have Google and Yahoo to thank for their website translation capabilities. At the same time, we are humbled by the number of people from other countries who have taken the time to learn the English language.

I too find it interesting to see where the visitors are coming from. Most of course come from the US (96%)but I have Moldova, Trinidad, and Sri Lanka, to name a few. Just in the last week I had a man from Japan sign up to receive new listings by email.
Ashley: I believe there are readers from all over the world who want to read not only about luxury real estate–but about real estate in San Diego, New York, Chicago and especially–Albuquerque. Your market is one of the healthier ones, I understand!

I’ve heard from a friend in real estate here in Tucson that there is a shift now (conversation about this weekend’s wild fires) which may be happening into an area east of Tucson (J6 Ranch Road or something like that name). It seems there are a few folks from the fire area now interested in this part of Arizona for relocation. I think it is rumor only, because the coast will always be an area of interest. I can’t see an area of high desert taking the place of a coastal area. tim
