Now this one is a little different but I wanted to show it. It's plugging UK investment real estate, the video quality is great but I didn't like the the lack of sound in it requiring me to read the screen. The video has a real future "Minority Report" type feel to it doesn't it.

Was going to be London For Sale but it's Minority Report
Since we covered real estate TV based upon London England, I was looking to add another video to my real real estate series, but I found this gem of a current real estate video:

Selling Spelling
I saw the first show of what should be a short TV series on Selling Spelling Manor this past weekend.
The show is covering the sale of one house. What makes a mini-series out of selling this house is that it's being offered for sale a $150 million!!
In this first show we learned the history of the home. It located on the site of the former Bring Crosby estate which was ripped down to build this monster of a home over nearly a decade of construction!
Should be interesting to watch this one, wonder what they'll get for it.

Mexican Vacation Villas
Well there wasn't that great of a selection of real estate videos from Mexico. So I went with something that was a bit older but was easy on the eyes.
I hope you enjoyed all the luxury of this home and the amazing blue of the Mexican sky and water. Makes me want to take another holiday.
However, I'm not really certain if Mexico would be a safe place to go!

Toronto Homes For Sale Video
Toronto is one of those very busy markets with a lot of REALTORS® trying to stand out in a crowd. As such it was easy to find this current home for sale video.
This one is a pretty standard video, converting pictures into a panning movie shot with some very upbeat back ground music. I liked it a lot.
It had a good production value with some ok intro branding and the level of real estate agent branding was at an appriate level.
Overall a good video.

Cincinnati Real Estate For Sale
I've looked for a current video of a home for sale in Cincinnati and I was happy to find that I had a few choices of current real estate videos made this February.
This is a short REALTOR video covering a house that is being sold with some nice background music.
On the side panel throughout the entire video is the REALTORS branding and contact information. It's almost too much as it seems to pull away from the pics of the house.
One interesting thing in this video however is at the end the picture and name of a 2nd real estate agent pops up for a brief second. Not certain why she gets a brief 2nd billing.

Toronto to Mexico
Another show of House Hunters international I watched last night was covering a couple moving from Toronto to Mexico. Except that they were not really moving from Toronto, it seem that they were just staying there for a bit after spending the last 3 years living in a 300 square foot apartment in Japan.
The home buyers were looking for a luxury villa in the 200k range, and amazingly they had several very nice options. All with personal sized pools in their backyard.
In the end they ended up purchasing a home for over their price range for 220k. But it was clearly the best of the lot.

House Hunters - Cincinnati
Well house hunters covered home buyers looking in Cincinati last night. Personnally my only experience with Cincinati to date was watching the old classic TV show WKRP.
However, the city seemed very nice from what I saw and real estate pricing seemed to be very reasonable.
This episode covered a young couple looking to buy their first home. Of the three homes we saw my guess was that they would be buying number 3.
I though that the 3rd home was the best fit being a bit bigger than the rest despite the lack of privacy due to it backing onto a high school.
However, in the end they picked home number 1 which must have been in a better area of town.

St Louis Real Estate for Sale
The most current realty tv show covered was St Louis so I'm not going to miss it in my real estate video coverage.
This video is hot off the production press, being posted just yesterday! It shows what looks to be a very nice house in St Louis. Priced at only $61,900 it looks to be a real steal of a real estate deal.
I likedthe video but the audio did seem to come in a few seconds late for my liking. However, the production quality was very good.
Southern Spain Vacation Villas
Another video. This one is covering Southern Spain real estate or more accurately vacation villas.
This video is very similar to the last one I did on Korean real estate. However, this video does have some great spainish back ground music and lots of photos of various Spainish vacation villas that have been sold by the firm producing the video.
Like this other video, this one is from 2011 and is a lot older than the ones I like to highlight in the blog.

South Korean Real Estate Video
Another area that I missed in my real real estate series is the South Korean market. As you recall from the reality tv show foreigners normally end up renting but I went with a video of an apartment for sale.
If you watched the video then this is clearly a luxury apartment available to house hunters. The video wasn't the best quality and is kind of old but there wasn't much of a selection. This one of course didn't seem to have any sound and the person putting it together went a little crazy on transition effects!

My First Sale - Alexandra Virginia
Another eposide of My First Sale this one was in Alexandra Virginia. Of course everything I start watching this show now I'm expecting to share the pain of the home owner as they fail to sell there home.
In this case the home owner was selling an apartment condo with 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, plus it had an extra loft and 1 parking spot.
The home owner had purchased the condominium several years before for 220,000 and still owned 197,000 on it. In addition she had put about 12,000 in upgrades into the unite including some nice hardwood.
What made this sale interesting is that the home seller was looking to take the profits from there home sale and invest it in a new business with her sister. The spin on this was that the new business was in fact a non profit agency.
The home owner initially wanted to list her condo for $350,000 but her REALTOR® got the listing price down to $325,000 and even then that seemed too high for the market in my opinion.
Well after 60 days on the market and only 5 showing they had there first open house followed by a price reduction to $319,900 (The REALTOR® wanted a 10k reduction).
The price reduction seemed to get more buyers into the unit and an offer came in at $300,000 less 8,000 in closing costs. The counter was $319,000 and 5,000 in closing. The buyers countered back at 310,000 less 8k. Personally I think that this was a decent price to jump at. However the home seller declined this offer and decided to wait.
After all of this the wild card comes into play and as we learn that the new non profit business was able to obtain a large money grant from the government. Thus there was no longer any need to sell the condominium so it was pulled off the market!

Sicily Real Estate Videos
The final Realty TV and Real Estate video I'm going to post in this series of blog posts is this one covering Sicily.
Once again this is another one to mix it up. It's another video designed to promote buying real estate in Sicily and not just a specific home!
Cleary the production values are up on this one and I'm tempted to take a trip and see what I can afford to purchase!

House for Sale in Colorado Video
Another Realty TV and a Current Home for Sale video I present Colorado:
Again this is a real estate video that I'm using to mix it up! However, it's a fresh new video just posted the other day. In this housing video we have a local Colorado REALTOR® discussing the housing market conditions in his area!
No houses to see in this video, just the real estate agent discussing what is going on. I think it would be of a lot more value for people who are looking to buy homes in that area over what was offered by reality TV.

4 Mile Beach Real Estate
Another in my series of current real estate for sale video based upon some of the real estate tv shows I've profiled here is 4 Mile Beach down under in Australia!
Now this video is of an amazing looking home! However, I don't think that the video does it much justice lacking sound and that it is of a very limited number of pictures. In addition, I think that the REALTOR or who ever created it went a little crazy with the transition effects.
But it's the best I can do since dispite this video being older it's one of the newer ones available!

House Hunters in Sicily
Another House Hunters International on HGTV last night and this one took place in Sicily.
This show was the standard setup with a family of 5 (2 parents plus 3 kids) moved to the Sicily area of Italy from England. The family had a budget of approximately $500,000.
Well one of the homes was a half built home that was pitched as a great investment. And once you saw it you knew that this was the home that they would be purchasing given that is what happened that last few times we saw an unfinished home on House Hunters.
And in this case that is what they did, but unlike similar purchases there was no follow up 3 months later showing the home still in an unliveable condition.
However the best line of the night was from the daughter after being introduced to the construction site that her parents had just purchased: "I though you said you bought a house!"

House Hunters in Tampa Bay
In this House Hunters show we find a family looking for a home in Tampa Bay with a 500k budget.
Now $500k is a pretty good buget in my mind for buying a home, however we have seen it doesn't go to far in other parts to the world. Happily this Tampa Bay Florida which has depressed housing prices. As a result we were able to see several homes with multiple bedrooms that worked for this family.
In the end however, these home buyers purchased a 5 bedroom home with an amazing backyard pool. The house however had a major draw back in that it was a big time fixer upper. However their REALTOR seemed to come through when making the deal as they were able to get the house which was listed for $499,000 down to $435,000 so they could afford the repair costs!

My First Home in Texas
I watched this eposide of My First Home on the weekend and it was about a young couple with a $270,000 budget looking to buy their first home in Texas.
It seems that they had been looking for a home for a while but the wife was working out of town so it was a slow process for them. However, I want to say that the wife came off as spoiled (was she an only child?). She had to have the best of everything in her first home, the counter tops must be granite and the floor must be hard wood since tiles were so gross. I kind of felt sorry for her husband since all he wanted in a new home was a nice backyard.
In the end she did get what she wanted when they were lucky enough to find a home that had everything they were looking for that had just reduced it's price to the $270,000 range. Lucky for them, I think they would have been looking for a house for a long time other wise.

Texas Real Estate for Sale
Keeping up with profiling some current real estate for sale in a town which has been covered on real estate tv. I present this Youtube real estate video:
No price listed on this property. The home looks empty from the main floor since there doesn't seem to be any funiture or blinds. Yet some of the bedrooms still have beds and looked lived in. I wonder if this video was created from pictures taken while the home was in the process of getting staged downstairs. Or the owner was yet to move out of the back yard.
In addition, I love how this one water front, yet the water front appears to be a man made drainage lake. But I guess that is how they do it in Texas real estate.

Vacation Home in Costa Rica Youtube Video
Here is another real estate video on some current real estate being sold in Costa Rica.
This is a nice short 2 minute video on a cool place in Costa Rica. Looks like a place I would enjoy a nice vacation at. What I love about this video is that the REALTOR lists one of the features of the home as having: 2 wheel drive access. Not really a feature around here, but It's certainly something to consider when you go looking for vacation real estate in other parts of the world.
