Key reading

Luxury Real Estate Advisory · New York · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

youtube.com holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail in the period-wide ranking at 13.37%, a platform rather than a specialist operator in this market. StreetEasy sits 3.34 percentage points behind youtube.com on AI opening share on this market, recording 10.03%. hauseit.com and realtrends.com each record 9.12%, while reddit.com and elikarealestate.com sit further back at 7.90% and 7.60% respectively. The 9 sources behind youtube.com range from 10.03% down to 4.26% — a compressed trailing field where no actor has separated itself from the pack. The panel mixes general-purpose platforms with focused domains, and the opening-control surface shows no concentrated authority on this observed AI surface across the 7-run comparable window.

Pattern on the observed surface

Luxury Real Estate Advisory · New York · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

The opening-control rail for Luxury Real Estate Advisory New

The opening-control rail for Luxury Real Estate Advisory New York is dispersed rather than concentrated. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined. The spread between the rank-1 and rank-10 positions is 9.12 percentage points — a compressed range that leaves no actor with a commanding share of AI answer openings. The panel blends general-purpose platforms (youtube.com, reddit.com, facebook.com) with focused and niche domains, and 8 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs. The surface reads as broadly contested, with no single source type or actor category controlling the primacy slot.

Why this reading matters

Luxury Real Estate Advisory · New York · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

youtube.com holds rank-1 on this AI opening-control rail by cumulative opening volume over the period, yet its 13.37% share means the surface is wide open. The presence of hollywoodreporter.com — a domain outside the expected real estate vertical — among the governed top-10 panel signals that AI Overview opening behavior on this market draws from a broader source pool than a specialist-only reading would predict.

Market implication

Luxury Real Estate Advisory · New York · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

The observed AI opening-control surface for this market remains largely unclaimed across the 7-run window. No actor has consolidated the primacy slot on this observed AI surface. For any operator monitoring AI answer openings in New York luxury real estate, the reading is that the opening rail is fragmented and contested — the surface has not converged around a single reference source over this period.

FAQ

What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
It measures how often a given source is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer across the observed query set. It captures the primacy slot — who AI reaches for first — not general citation frequency.
Does this card prove that youtube.com is the authority on luxury real estate in New York?
No. The card observes cumulative AI opening volume across 7 comparable scheduled runs on Google desktop. A 13.37% share on this surface does not establish business-market authority or general citation standing. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates.
Why do hauseit.com and realtrends.com show the same percentage?
Both record 9.12% AI opening share on this market across the period. The metric values are identical, but the governed panel maintains a distinct rank order for each actor based on the cumulative tie-break applied during ranking. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend.
