Are Investors Buying Fewer Sites !

I'm a web developer and I am noticing a drastic slowdown in sales on here and on Sitepoint as well. The slow down is not only for myself but for almost all sellers overall. I notice that fewer sites are being bought at the pace they were 6 months ago, right now it feels like a snails market comparing to the rip roaring market a year ago this time. Do any other web developers that develop and sell sites frequently notice this pattern as well? Could the overall state of the American economy be playing a role?

 

How would the overall state of the US economy play a role in affecting sales of websites? It's a global market and I doubt you see any "real" pattern with a concrete adjustment -- say a decline or incline in sales.

There are always fluctuations on a case by case and annual basis. Fewer websites will be sold on X year but more will be sold on Z year. Get me?

 

Well, probably it was only for you. I sold a few sites in February without any hassle in SP.

 

Maybe indeed, it just appears that few sites are getting moved right now and buyers are becoming more selective but again it could just me or rather simply a time of fluctuation in the market.
