Videos and Reverse Sprawl

I'm tied up in class today but found a couple of interesting things to share with you.

This is the first in a series of stories by the Albany Times Union newspaper exploring the changes occurring in how people live both because of rising energy prices and the increasing numbers of senior baby boomers. While the towns and cities they refer to may be in NY, this is a story that's being repeated around the country.

Saturday's Washington Post's real estate section contained an interesting story about consumers finding real estate agents online through social media sites and things like blogs. How well do you feel you can get to know an agent (or anyone else) through a blog?

And, lastly, I've begun experimenting with the use of true video (as opposed to "virtual tours") on my listings. I've just posted the first one on YouTube and would welcome your feedback, not just on what you think of this video, but whether you see this as significantly better for buyers than a typical slide show.
