(Crain's) Tribune Co. made good on plans to add to its Internet stable Monday and announced the purchase of a real estate Web site company.
Its Tribune Interactive subsidiary acquired ForSaleByOwner.com, a nine-year-old Internet company that caters to people selling their houses without the aid of a real estate agent.
The purchase comes as TribuneÂ’s Web sites bolster lackluster ad sales seen in the companyÂ’s publishing division. Internet revenues climbed 30% in the first quarter of the year thanks in large part to online help wanted and auto advertising. ForSaleByOwner could strengthen TribuneÂ’s online real estate business.
