In January last year, mobile search for homes constituted only 10 per cent of the property seekers, which in May 2015 stood at 40 per cent, the report said. The survey found that property search in Tier II cities, which has also witnessed a significant penetration of smartphones over the last few years, has grown 1.3 times compared to the national average.
