GOOD QUALITY RENTALS IN DEMAND- Internet campaign only.

A happy story is that we are finding a real surge for demand for goods rentals. Last week we let quickly in a matter of days, 4 quality rentals for full price and some above asking price, as tenants struggle to find good properties to rent.

We are finding success with an internet only campaign, quality photography (With professionals and good ad copy as well, as for all residential sales) and this does beg the question, and in due course why we cannot eventually do without or at elast scale down print media for residential real estate marketing.

With the costs of print media being so high and many buyers claim to be focusing mainly on the internet, what is the future of the big newspapers in Real Estate?

The eventual phasing out of print is probably going to happen, what do others think?

An often unheralded statistic, is that of market segment, and hence a term called absorbtion rate, the number of sales per market segment for a particular timeframe.

This is the updated market segment by price category. For those into this sort of stuff, interesting reading. Good for discussions with your owners. :)

As we approach the end of April 2011, the market remains constipated in Applecross and Mount Pleasant.

Today we launched our own TV Show. http://www.evolutionrealty.com.au/

This will be a regular feature and we are really excited about offering you up to the minute information and news.

Please have a look and tell me what you think?

• Do you have a request for a story?

• Do you have a perspective on living in the City of Melville?

Let me know, and it will be our pleasure to make the Evolution TV Show a resource that you can use.

Evolution has led the way again, with a simple user friendly function, powder room icons. (As far as we know the first agent to do this in the area).

Often buyers want to know how many powder rooms, as the number of bathrooms is not the whole story. Many homes today have 1-4 powder rooms in the market we serve. Have a look for yourself. http://www.evolutionrealty.com.au/search.aspx?st=fs BUYERS, we hope you like this feature. Please comment and tell us what you think.

Coming soon...Watch this space.

As Evolution continues to lead the way, we are about to launch our own TV Show, with monthly market updates, suburb profiles, helpful buyer and seller tips, as well as general property information, interviews, and some property showcase previews.

We believe that this will be a first in the local property market, and a valuable resource for the public, buyers and sellers alike. Watch this space for exciting developments.

With the advent of video on You Tube and various other media, it is inevitable Real Estate will have to join the revolution.

I am proud to announce Evolution Realty’s first “video” promotion of 2 Conon Road Applecross. http://www.evolutionrealty.com.au/property.aspx?pid=249710&st=fs 
Please enjoy, and tell me what you think. (Click on the link titled "Movie").   Thanks Ian B ……….Ed
