Now the only reason I didn't do it that way was because of possible keyword dilution. Since "RealEstate" is a very common term, I'd rather have the city name first. That's entirely gut instinct, though, and not based on any formative knowledge.

I was thinking, how about this domain?

I've been sitting on it for almost two years and all that's running there is one script like we're discussing. I'd be happy to wire it up one way or the other and have a go. We can get the .net and try it the opposite way, then see what the results are in a month or two.
