Is it that time again? It seems that the year is barely started and before you know it it’s already over. This can mean only one thing: it’s time for the top 10 lists to begin.
This week Yahoo! Canada 2009 Buzz Index released their list of Canada’s Favourite Online Topics as searched by millions of Yahoo! Canada users.
The top Canadian search term of the year was NHL, which surpassed Michael Jackson who placed number five on the list.
In finance related searches, MLS was the prevailing search term, followed by mortgage calculator, which placed in the fifth spot.
While real estate agents and mortgage brokers have been saying that the residential property market is hot, these results suggest that consumers are indeed being lured by the current market and attractive mortgage rates.
Thinking ahead to next year, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised to find that Twilight is the top search term in every category. Happy searching!
