New listings made this May 2024 pool listings update a busy one: we added 73 and deleted 12, a net gain of 61. We also finished Washington State and moved on to Oregon.
Site activity
We are within days of putting the new site online. We had set June 1 as the launch date but decided to defer it for a few days of final testing. Throughout May we continued to work on the informational pages of the new website.
We also made some major finds of new listings. A Hungarian website gave us many new listings in that country, 33 from that source alone. We had not found a source that productive in a long time.
Listing reviews
We wrapped up our review of the listings in Washington State and moved on to Oregon. We also went back to Ireland, so that our reviews now run on two tracks: one U.S. state and one country outside the United States.
Hotel listings
In April we added 13 new hotel listings, and in May we added another 13. After the month closed, we made a check we do not often do and found 2,196 active hotel-type listings, 8.3% of the total.
