Key reading

Luxury Real Estate Advisory · New York · AI citation · September 21–27, 2026

The AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Real Estate Advisory New York is distributed across the 7-run window, with no single name holding a majority of citations. youtube.com leads at 25.40%, but the 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 8.79% down to 5.80%. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. Three of the five panel positions belong to social platforms — youtube.com, facebook.com, and instagram.com — while the two focused sources, SERHANT. and Zillow, share the bottom of the panel at 5.80% each.
