The Power of Video Tours for Improving the Real Estate Experience

Success in the competitive real estate market of today depends on remaining one step ahead of the game. Using cutting-edge techniques to market properties is crucial as technology continues to change the market.

One such method gaining significant traction is the use of video tours. In this article, we explore the transformative power of video tours in elevating the real estate experience, while also celebrating a milestone: my first appearance in a video tour.

Video tours offer a unique opportunity to engage potential buyers and renters by immersing them in a virtual journey through a property. Through a carefully crafted visual narrative, video tours capture the essence of a home, highlighting its architectural details, spacious interiors, and enchanting surroundings. This immersive experience evokes emotions and creates a lasting impact, making properties truly come alive.

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of being involved in a captivating video tour showcasing a stunning property under my management here in San Remo. This marked my debut in the world of video tours, an exciting milestone in my real estate journey. Stepping in front of the camera for the first time was a mix of excitement and nervousness, but the experience proved to be incredibly rewarding. It emphasized the importance of adaptability and embracing new technologies to deliver outstanding service to clients.

Today I am thrilled to share that since the video tour was created only 2 weeks ago, the featured property has already found a buyer! This achievement speaks volumes about the effectiveness of video tours in attracting the right audience and accelerating the sales process. The power of visual storytelling, combined with the convenience of virtual property exploration, has proven to be a winning combination.

This success story serves as a reminder to both sellers and buyers of the immense opportunities that await in the real estate market.

The Real Estate Market in Liguria in 2022: A Look at the Performance and Trends

The Real Estate Market in Liguria in 2022: A Look at the Performance and Trends

The real estate market in West Liguria, Italy, saw a significant surge in demand and growth in the year 2022. The region, famous for its scenic coastline, stunning views and rich cultural heritage, has long been a popular destination for both domestic and international buyers. The market has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, but in 2022, it reached new heights.

According to the Tax and Revenue Agency, the number of homes sold in the region increased by 13% in 2022 compared to the previous year. This growth was largely driven by an increase in demand from foreign buyers, particularly from France, Germany, Scandinavia and USA. These buyers were attracted by the region’s excellent quality of life, favourable climate and proximity to an International airport.

The average price of homes in Liguria also saw a significant increase in 2022, rising by 7% compared to the previous year. This was driven by a combination of factors, including a shortage of available properties, increased demand from buyers, and rising costs for building materials. Despite these increases, prices in the region still remain relatively affordable compared to the neighbouring French Riviera, making it a better option for many buyers.
