Introducing homeonthetube.com

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

homeonthetube.com operates just like a regular property portal, except the listings are all done via video. The details about the property provided in text or by photo are basic, with a full description given on the video itself.

So unlike other portals which include video alongside text and images to add another dimension, homeonthetube.com focuses purely on video as a means of showing the property listing to prospective buyers. Its like being given a mini tour by the advertiser.

The video listings are searchable by the usual criteria like city, price, bedrooms and bathrooms, under the categories of for sale, rent and vacation rental.

Users can shortlist favourites, and contact the advertisers. At the moment the site lists properties in the US only, with a strong emphasis on California.

The site is currently offering free uploads, requiring only a short signup/login process. A premium account will be needed for multiple uploads and cost approximately $19.95.

And there’s even a video to show agents and homeowners how to list their properties on the website.

Users will be able to search and view property videos on the main website, and eventually also on a yet-to-be-released mobile website and iPhone® App with GPS features.
