| Latest TV show goes
live |
|
 Our real estate TV series has
had over 85,000 views since it went live a
few months ago, with the latest episode (#6 in the
series) already attracting 6000+ viewers. It's free
to view, you can watch as many times as you like, and catch up
on our previous 5 episodes. 7 more episodes will be aired
before the calendar year is out.
In episode 6, we feature Gary and the
team from Blue Jay Media,
Phil explains why 'wages are not enough', and
Rob Druitt is this week's 'Insider',
answering the same 11 questions we put to a real estate agent
every time. We then show a clip of May's social media
bootcamp and finish off in Attadale &
Bicton, with Shobana Patrick from
Ross & Galloway featuring.
Do drop in and watch the ONLY locally produced real
estate show - and if you have ideas for future
shows, please contact
us. | |
| Social Media gains
mainstream status |
Sick to death of hearing about facebook
and twitter yet? Well, get used to it - cos
we are on a never-ending mission to get the media
power back into your hands!
 Last Saturday's
West Australian newspaper had a
typical article on Twitter (see opposite, and click here to read)
with mainly negative views, but it also featured
aussiehome.com, our Twitter courses and MD Charlie Gunningham.
Photos of our Twitter Course from
last month (can be viewed on our Facebook Business page) with some great
feedback from participants. We'll be repeating our facebook
and twitter courses next month - so look out for these.
For more on how to get your own Facebook Business Page
going (free to do this!) DOWNLOAD A FREE e-BOOK
here (pdf) - written by Peter
Fletcher from The Real Estate Marketing
Maven.
A FREE e-book on using Twitter in
real estate is VIEWABLE
HERE.

| Google Real
Estate |
 As we announced
on 13th July, Google launched its own real estate site
last month, and we have uploaded all your listings to
the site from aussiehome.com. Many other sites have
done likewise, except for realestate.com.au and
domain.com.au... interesting.
Google is simply a search destination to
find information, linking back to the web site that provides
the full information (yours), giving free traffic to
aussiehome.com and your listings. Google Real Estate is
not a portal like the others, and is
free to upload to, and a free site.
As we've ALWAYS SAID, it's YOUR
SITE that is the most important one. ONLY ON
YOUR SITE are your listings shown exclusively, and
can you BRAND YOURSELF against your
competition. Now, with Google Real Estate, we can also upload
your listings FROM YOUR OWN DOMAIN (not just
aussiehome.com) - giving YOUR WEB ADDRESS the
chance to show in the results, and giving YOUR SITE
direct traffic.
We've already trialled this with some clients, and it seems
to work well. The cost to upload from YOUR
SITE (as well as aussiehome.com) is a once
off $150 coding fee (it's a few hours works for us to get this
happening for each site). No ongoings
though. Remember, your properties are
already on Google Real Estate because of us,
but what we're offering here is another chance to be
there, this time with YOUR OWN WEB
ADDRESS as well. CONTACT
CHARLIE to have YOUR OWN SITE
featured on Google Real Estate

GST a month - amazing branding.

Perth market Stats |
|
 Where's the real estate market at?
Many of our clients are saying it's a normal market (have
your say on on BLOG about this)
and that's good, or so we hear.
The Australian sharemarket is at new 9 month
highs, interest rates have been kept on hold at
3%.
Some research is now showing that the property market has picked
itself off the the bottom (which was around March 2009).
Building approvals have surged 21 per cent (ABS), and ABS, REIWA
and RP Data all have the Perth median price rising in the June
quarter, in line with all major cities around Australia. Across the
country, median prices rose 2.7%.
Listings have fallen significantly in the past few months to a
steady level. Properties for sale on aussiehome.com, for example,
are down to just over 5000 for sale in Perth (it was up at 7500 2
months ago).
Overall?
We've probably seen the bottom of the property market in this
cycle.
No one is expecting fresh lows, although no one is expecting a
sharp rise either (which is probably good, as we want the next
growth phase to be sustainable and not leave us in a crash
again.)
