LONDON (Reuters) - Property Web site operator Rightmove <RMV.L> shrugged off the gloom surrounding the housing market on Tuesday, saying it was gaining market share and confident of meeting analysts' full-year expectations.

"Rightmove (LSE: GB00B0MFTM73.L - news) has continued to trade strongly since the start of the year, with continuing growth in advertiser numbers, traffic and revenues, the firm said in a trading update, adding that property advertising in regional newspapers was bearing the brunt of the slowdown.

"Even reflecting a weak outlook for the UK housing market and for property advertising generally, the board has confidence in meeting market expectations for the current year."
