Key reading
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · New York · AI citation · October 12–18, 2026
youtube.com holds 35.61% of AI citation share on this market across the 7-run window, a position no other actor on the panel approaches. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 8.36% down to 5.86%, and they sit between 27.25 and 29.75 percentage points behind it. The panel is distributed across platforms and a specialist operator, yet the concentration is stark: the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. List Sothebys International Realty, the only specialist operator on the governed top-5 panel, records 7.17% — a narrow gap separates it from the two social platforms ranked just below. The surface is open in the sense that no specialist domain has pulled away, but it is not evenly shared: youtube.com accumulated more AI citations over the period than the rest of the panel combined.

- No. This card observes the AI Overview citation rail across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window October 12–18, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A different window could produce a different panel composition.
