Real estate websites are undoubtedly the most important tool needed to sell real estate. Regardless of whether you are using a real estate agent or selling your property privately you need to make sure you have effective web presence for your property listing.
More and more property owners are getting themselves into financial hardship through purchasing their dream home before they have sold the current property they are living in. They do this by entering into Bridging Finance to pay for the property they are purchasing which is then repaid once they sell their current property.
This all sounds great in theory especially in a rising market and if a real estate agent has given an overstated value of the owners current property they trying to sell. But with rising interest rates and a declining property market many owners haven’t been able to sell their current property in the timeframe nor for the price they require.
Property prices in suburbs located on the fringe of capital cities are decreasing much faster than those suburbs closer to the CBD’s or public transport. Due to rising petrol prices the cost of getting from these isolated suburbs to work is now eating away at these household budgets.
Finally Australia’s best free private real estate selling website has had a facelift. We have listened to the feedback of our property owners and private sellers and redesigned the Privatepoint website and system to make things a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.
The first noticeable change is that Privatepoint is free. We were previously charging $198 because this is the fee we were required to pay Propertypoint one of the websites we automatically send your property listing to. Property listings entered in Privatepoint will no longer automatically appear on Propertypoint. Rather, if you would like your listing to appear on Propertypoint you can request this addition and pay Privatepoint the listing fee of $198.
We are happy to welcome our newest Privatepoint partner Suburb View. Suburb View is the first real estate search engine operating in Australia. What is a real estate search engine? Basically, it is like a Google search engine which crawls existing real estate agent websites and real estate portals looking for real estate listings. When it finds real estate listings it extracts a photo, the property details and the first line of the property description and places it on the Suburb View website.
This is great for the real estate industry as it no longer requires real estate agents to set up data feeds of their property listings to be send to 3rd party websites. This means that more and more real estate search engine websites will appear improving search functionality and user experience for people searching for real estate.
