WellcomeMat is now offering an iPhone application it claims will make it “easier to post a video for a property that it is to post photos”.

homeonthetube.com is a new way to show property listings online – by video.

According to For Rent Media Solutions, owner of US apartment search website forrent.com and a division of Dominion Enterprises, property managers who incorporate video into their marketing initiatives see a significant increase in lead generation.

Another photo-to-video company is looking to attract business from real estate agents, offering a tool that could showcase listings in a memorable way.

The latest website to join the online real estate video fray is estateagentvideos.com, created by London based video production company MUXI.

realeflix.com showcases video tours of properties and allows users to search properties in various categories.

realestate.com is certainly not the only brokerage or portal that is using YouTube, but it does seem to be the only one that is systematically releasing all of its listings on YouTube.

According to recent data from comScore, online video is growing in popularity, numbers and types of users using it, the length and number of videos Internet users watch, and any other category it’s possible to measure. And it’s happening fast.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’d know that videos are becoming more and more essential to real estate websites and particularly to any real estate marketing, promotion and advertising. So what’s currently happening in the world of online real estate videos? At the moment, a lot.

Search engines index and rank text on a webpage, but currently it is much more difficult for them to index content inside a video. Don’t let your videos get lost!
