$REA:ASX - REA GROUP - RealEstate.com.au etc up 50% YTD

I didn't realise that REA operated across as many countries with as many portals as they do. Well known to Australians for the RealEstate.com.au portal they also have similar sites across Europe and Asia. They have been having a great run so far this year so could be worth a watch.
