Why Use Video To Sell Real Estate

Feb 14th 12

filed under: Videos

Video shoot of Pradera Custom Home

Video is now one of the most important factors when preparing your home to sell. Video has very quickly become a major player in the real estate industry.

“I’ve had excellent success using video to sell my real estate listings. Typically homes that I shoot professional video for sell within a week to 10 days after the video hits the web. It doesn’t matter if it’s a million dollar mansion or $400,000 track home. It works. Let me show you how.”

Video can make or break your home sale. I’m not talking about poor quality amature video done by a Realtor. I’m talking about professionally shot, on screen talent, Television grade commercials for your home. A commercial that potential homes buyers will want to watch and spark them to make the effort to set an appointment to come and view your home.

Video is a powerful tool in real estate that MOST brokers just do not understand. The two reasons they don’t use it or understand it are; 1. It’s expensive. 2. It’s technical and it takes effort.

“Be sure to preview the videos on the right hand side of this page to see what I’m talking about. These are top quality videos of properties that I have sold in Parker, Colorado.”

People now spend more time online watching videos than watching TV. YouTube has some amazing stats that the majority of Americans will find mind blowing. I’ll show a few below but if you want to see them all go to this article about YouTube Stats.

Why video is so important when selling your home.

Over 3 billion videos are viewed a day.
More video is uploaded to YouTube in one month than the 3 major US networks created in 60 years.
YouTube’s demographic is broad: 18-54 years old.
YouTube reached over 700 billion playbacks in 2010.
800M unique users visit YouTube each month.
150 years of YouTube video are watched every day on Facebook (up 2.5x year/year) and every minute more than 500 tweets contain YouTube links (up 3x y/y)
Nearly 17 million people have connected their YouTube account to at least one social service (Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Buzz, etc.

“I sold this home in 8 days after it had been on the market with another broker for almost two years.”

The videos I create for the homes that I sell receive hundreds of views in the very first week they are online and after a month most of my videos will have been viewed over 1,000 times by perspective home buyers.

By using video, YouTube and Google I can have your home usually #1 in the Google searches and always in the top 3-4. Meaning, when someone searches for you home they will find the professionally shot video to view instead of some syndicated listing info they we have no control over. Let’s control how your property is presented to the market.

Video does come hand in hand with a little work required by the homeowner. I will help you with this but you will be expected to have the home in pristine condition. Video will show flaws if there are any so be prepared to whip the home into perfect showing shape.

I will be bringing a full film crew, talent and even home staggers and designers with me to the shoot to make sure your home is presented in the best possible way to the public. This is a professional operation with no expense spared.

If you are considering selling your home and would like for me to come give you a presentation of why and how I will use video and online marketing to sell your home please give me a call. Steven Beam 303-941-4663

Please realize that video and online marketing are just two of the ways we focus on to sell your home. They are merely two of the tools we use to attract home buyers.

Springtime in Colorado

I’m ready for Spring to arrive so I thought I would throw a Springtime photo onto the blog today. It made me feel better after looking out my window at the 8 inches of snow on the ground. This is the leftover snow from the last big storm that hit Colorado over a week ago.

Anyway, if you are like me and longing for warm days and warm outdoor activities here is a photo to remind you that Spring is just around the corner.

Clarke Farms Neighborhood in Parker, Colorado

Feb 10th 12

filed under: Real Estate Stats

Clarke Farms Neighborhood has another great year for home sales.

I’ve long said that Clarke Farms is the most affordable neighborhood in Parker, Colorado and I believe that home buyers agree with me. Look at the sales for the year of 2011 and you will see that not only are homes continuing to sell in Clarke Farms but it appears that there is no slow down in sight.

Buy a home

Homes are selling for an average of $116 per square foot and and average of $100 per finished square foot. The value is right there. Numbers don’t lie and I seriously doubt anyone can build or replace a home in Clarke Farms for $100 per sqft.

So yes, buying and owning a home is now much less expensive than renting. If you don’t believe me check out this article that came out just today “Office and Home Rent will keep rising and rising.”

Home prices are so affordable in Clarke Farms that the selling price range for the neighborhood in 2011 was from $165,000 to $367,000. Just about anyone can find the right home in Clarke Farms.

In 2011 83 homes sold in Clarke Farms with an average sales price of $233,328 and an average of 96 days on market.

Feb 9th 12

filed under: Real Estate Stats

Lately I’ve been writing about affordable housing in Parker, Colorado. Well, here is another neighborhood in Parker, Colorado that is reasonably priced and appears to be on the rebound. Sales numbers don’t lie.

Hidden River and Sagewood are sort of a neighborhood within a neighborhood. Sagewood is basically surrounded by Hidden River. The neighborhood is ideally located off Hilltop Road on the East side of Parker Road. Some lots in Hidden River have excellent views of the Front Range.

Previous Sold Homes numbers for Hidden River 2009

Here are the numbers for 2011.

Total Homes Sold 40
Average Days on Market = 102
Average NET Sold Price = $251,882
Average Price Per SQFT = $133
Average Price Per Finished SQFT = $115
Lowest Home sale for 2011 = $146,496
Highest Sale for 2011 = $358,000

If you look back and see that in 2009 only 29 homes sold for an average of $136 per square foot. Compared to other Parker, CO neighborhoods this is not bad especially considering 11 more homes sold in 2011 versus 2009.
