More Youtube Real Estate Video

I had a lot of fun yesterday with my prior post on Youtube real estate video, so decided to do it again. I spent some more time searching Youtube videos and found this one I thought that I would share. This video showed up at the top of my search results for "real estate for sale" so a very impressive search result for this home.

Take a look:

As you can see the production value of this video isn't professional but it seems to get the job done for this REALTOR. I think that the music level was too loud for my liking. The biggest hold back of this video is that some of the underlying photographic images are poorly done and probably at a lower resolution than required in my opinion. However, it does seem to get the job done and probably would provide a lot of valuable information to home buyers in that area.

Top Real Estate Video On The Net

I just did a search on Youtube for the term real estate and the following real estate video showed up. It is clearly produced by a big brokerage. I'm not certain is they use real REALTORS® in the video or if they have hired some professional hosts.

What is interested to see is that the video covering the housing market for June 2011 so it is fairly recent but was able to rank up to the number 1 position. Of course if a number of real estate agents in the brokerage firm all post or link to it, it probably helps this video alot.

Tips I learned from the real estate video included the common repairs that people do prior to selling their home. They include: The Roof, Plumbing, Electrical upgrads and heating & cooling issues.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Lots of HGTV real estate this past weekend!

We are getting some nice weather around here now, but that didn't stop me from watching a lot of HGTV real estate shows this past weekend.

The problem is they've all started to blur together in my mind and I cannot give a good update on any of these home buying or home selling shows.

My general impression however is that real estate in the US is really really cheap now days. While homes in the rest of the world seem to start at $350,000 to begin to get anything nice.

Half Built House in Poland

In a new eposide of House Hunters International I saw some Canadians move to Poland to teach at an international private school. The school was giving them an apartment onsite to live in while they found a house to move to.

Well after looking at 3 homes on the show they decided to buy a house partially built and still under construction. Construction work that they would be responsible to complete and it seemed neither of them where handymen.

Well 6 months later the show comes back to them and we find them still living in the apartment and no construction had start on the home. Seems that they where having trouble getting the financing to get the job done.

Very funny!

Selling New York - Better This Week

I couldn't help myself and ended up watching Selling New York again this week. For some reason I found it to be a lot better. It maybe because I'm learning some of the REALTOR characters now or perhaps it is because they didn't focus so much on the individual condos or co-ops for sale.

Interesting things that happened in this weeks shows were:

1. A couple looking to buy a home near the WTC site had concerns about all of the construction in the area. They ended up getting a tour of development via construction models, video and the viewing deck of a building. I don't think that would have happened for them if the REALTOR didn't have the tv cameras going.

2. Big drama as they had to find a building that would allow a turtle pet.

3. A REALTOR was working with her daughters boyfriend to buy a 3 million dollar home when he decided that he was going to rent, so a $200,000 commission cheque turned into a $7,500 cheque which she declined.
