Another point for you to consider is that we also have up and running the overseas property videos website, OneStopView.com, which already hosts over 2,000 property videos from over 500 agents from around the globe. You can also register for free on this website aswell as uploading your property videos for free.

At this present time we are looking at having the OneStopView.tv website built that will host all real estate themed videos other than actual property videos. The .tv version of OneStopView will host videos of estate agents themselves and their offices which is ideal for videographers who offer business marketing videos. It will also be offering a chance for viewers to actually view towns and regions that videographers have filmed to aid in marketing their own or their clientels (estate agencies) property portfolios. When I was out in both Spain and France I found it very beneficial to provide regional video tours to aid in both my marketing of property videos to estate agents aswell as the estate agents marketing of property videos to home owners. These regional videos were also ideal to be included in actual property videos to aid the viewer gain a better understanding of where the property was located.

Hopefully the videographers who requested marketing material for OneStopView.co.uk have found them useful, if more are required then please do email me. For anyone who has yet to request marketing literature then do feel free to request some!

Christopher Walkey.

Marketing with property videos is a lot more easier than you think and certainly very economical. Simply film the property you wish to sell or rent and upload the video to your computer where it will then be ready to upload to a host of video websites such as YouTube, AOL Videos and OneStopView. These sites are all free to use and really should be your first port of call before you investigate padi for websites whom would rarely get the same amount of traffic.

A property video could cost you less that 2 hours of your own time and could save you thousands in marketing costs. For more professional videos choose a local videographer who will film and edit a managable sized movie for you and even help with uploading.

Another dagger (hopefully) into the high priced property market is that average interest rates are on the increase (And will continue to increase) despite the BoE reducing the base rate down to 0.5% over recent months. In January 2007 with the base rate at 5% the mortgage rate was 6.20% and now despite the base rathe shrinking to 0.5% the mortgage rate has rised to 6.23% !!! The main reason for these high rates is because the people in the know (apparently) are well aware of the current house price market and feel prices have some way to fall yet.

People say it’s all negative talk, but it’s reality. House prices are too high, first time buyers are out of the market, the plug is conituining to be pulled from the housing market.

It is quite clear what is happening in the housing market. Prices nearly trebled from 1997-2007; there is a correction taking place and the bottom will not be reached for some time yet.

If news reports filter to the media that there are ‘grass shots’ then these will inevitably come from those with vested interest in property and property gaining in value. As a buyer I would recommend that you wait at least another 6 months before you buy and even then you will still see a drop in house prices for another year or so. We have yet to see the market bottom out and remain flat, then will be the best time to buy.

Prices were allowed to spiral upwards at too faster rate on the back of nothing, but a ‘feel good factor’ under the Labour government. People were spending credit as opposed to their earnings. Each year increasing their mortgages to accommodate their new upgrades on cars, multiple annual family holidays and plasma televisions in every room. These kind of people added to the national debt and now find themselves in negative equity (rightly so?) and are now starting to loose their treasured possessions (which they never really owned or worked for?) and the worst case scenario is many situations, repossession of their property.

Yes, many people will feel sorry for the ones losing their homes, but just how many of these people are actually in this situation for genuine reasons? How many of them simply spent, spent, spent with absolutely no regard for future finacial situations?

People tag them as vultures, but these people that are now buying up cheap property from auctions and taking advantage of giveaway prices of cars etc because other people are trying to stay afloat should be looked up to and thanked for having been safer with their spending. Families that studied their monthly bills, never were tempted to take advantage of their limitless credit spending, that may even have rented foreseeing this property price crash, are the ones that will profit.

I think that over the next 2-3 years house prices will adjust to or maybe even below the inflation band. At present it will be those with cash that are king and those that borrowed too much that will be poor. This unfortunately is a cycle that has occured many times before and it’s a cycle that will continue in years to come.

If you have a Facebook account, have you found out about how you can network with like minded people involved in real estate across the world?

I suggest that it would be to your benefit as a seller or a buyer to investigate networking on Facebook and how it can help you promote your property or indeed find your property.

Facebook is a massive beehive of networking opportunity that are all searchable and all free to use and join. If you simply type in Real Estate Networking within the search field you will see countless groups dedciated to the subject with many likeminded members. You will see many large groups, including my own http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?id=703772707&gv=12#/group.php?gid=47121836008 where you can share your thoughts and ideas and even market your property.

So, visit Facebook as soon as you can and find out new ways to network with others in the real estate world and start making new contacts today.

The networking world has arrived on the internet, especially with names such as Facebook and Twitter gaining immense pace and content. These kind of websites are generally all free to register with and market yourself and your property. You can set up dedicated pages with videos or photos to aid in marketing you property or indeed properties. You can network with like minded sellers and may even find buyers that are suited to your property.

There are also many hundred ‘Free to Use’ property marketing websites, especially ones now frequently appearing stating worldwide property free marketing. These are ideal to increase you exposure. I do advice though to search deeper into this section and expand your marketing procedures to include videos with the availability of free video uploading websites such as YouTube and OneStopView.

No one likes spamming on the internet, but you could also research groups/forums that may be real estate themed concentrating on your location. These places can also be ideal to let everyone know about your property.

Don’t forget auction websites such as Ebay, where a cheap listing can get you immense interest in your property. What about a dedicated website or webpage for your property, there are many ways to have a dedicated page such as MySpace.

It’s really a case of blitzing your property all over the internet, but trying to be very particular and avoid spamming as people will turn their noses up or suspect that there maybe problems.
