Home Buyers are searching for Real Estate Video Listings in YouTube

Pew Internet & American Life Project says that 57% of Internet users have watched videos online and most of them share what they find with others. They say 74% of those who enjoy high-speed connections at home and work watch or download video online and that 19% do it every day.

More recently Hitwise data showed visits to YouTube had increased 70% when comparing January 2007 to May 2007. In fact, Hitwise showed YouTube’s market share to be 50% greater than all 64 video aggregator sites combined.

It’s noteworthy that Google has massive competition for virtually any search, whereas in YouTube there’s a great deal of search traffic but much less competition for search results. Seeing as how Google recently announced the YouTube video library will be a major part of their search index, it’s an opportune time to consider creating listing video tours. They can be terrific marketing content for Blogs, Websites, Listing Aggregator Accounts and, obviously, YouTube. In fact, agents and brokerage firms can create video content from simple still images, post them to YouTube, optimize them for search with tags, benefit from both Youtube & Google visibility and possibly generate leads they wouldn’t have normally had.

At Real Estate Blogsites we offer a low cost, image- based video tour content creation service. In fact, we’ve recently submitted tours to YouTube for folks in places like Tampa FL, Ann Arbor MI and Tucson AZ.
