Pictures equal Power When Selling Your Myrtle Beach Home

Over the last several months we have all heard the imortance of quality content and also how imperative it is to add pictures to our listings. We have also found many articles on how to take the perfect photo and what to use to accomplish these things. With the slow down in the real estate market this has become even more critical.

I Just finished reading an email from Point2 Technologies that talked about photographs and how they increase the interest of consumers on listings. The study concluded that listings with no photo received .02 percent of the amount of interest as listings with over 21 pictures.

They also concluded that listings with 21 or more pictures receive 55 times the number of page views, 27 times the amount of interest and 898 the number of leads as a listing marketed with no pictures. These stats were rather staggering to me.

So, how many pictures do you place in your ads?

Myrtle Beach Real Estate Remains among top Searches on AOL

I just finished reading an article on AOL that shared the top real estate searches on their website. Myrtle Beach Real Estate was among the top 5 searched areas. Other notable cities included Miami, San Diego, and Phoenix. I was surprised to see that Myrtle Beach Real Estate was searched more times than some others cities like Atlanta, Orlando, & even Austin.

I believe there are a few reasons for this increased interest in Myrtle Beach Real Estate. First, there are many new attractions here. With attractions like Broadway at the Beach & The Market Commons, combined with so many fabulous restaurants & golf courses make Myrtle Beach very appealing.

Another reason people are considering Myrtle Beach is because the great weather we have! This year I enjoyed putting the outside decorations up in shorts! If you don’t believe me, look here! The temperature that day was in the mid 60’s!!!

The final and one of my favorite things about Myrtle Beach is the Beach! You can relax along the Golden Mile and enjoy watching the waves crash while listening to the seagulls nearby. The pictures speak for themself.
