The question of videos, photos, and virtual tours has become a touchy subject with some people, but I am becoming convinced that real estate videos are the wave of the future.
I am not a professional videographer and don't pretend to be. In fact, after the first couple videos I ditched my digital camcorder and just use the video setting on my little Canon Powershot camera. It works fine for what I need, short simple walk-through videos of the house.
I use windows movie maker to do voice overs and simple editing. Then I load them up on Welcomemat.com. Then I embed them into my blog.
The response has been noticably better than a virtual tour. People tell me that they watch the videos numerous times and it has been instrumental in getting showings for house in a competitive market.
Even though the video is choppy and slow on the first showing without a high speed connection, the second showing is smooth and I find that people are patient enough to work through it.
Here is one example from my website of how I am using real estate videos.
365 S Weiss Circle, Wasilla Alaska
I'd like some feedback...pro or con.
