There are lots of theories on what the best way to sell a home is and the Australians just came up with one more that might actually work.
Today they launched the website iPostcodes, which is how the home’s owner can directly participate in the marketing of their property. In addition to having a real estate agent take care of all the usual stuff – i.e. what’s the square footage, etc. – the homeowner can post fun and relevant facts about their home that, according to iPostcodes, no one but them would think to share.
What exactly can the homeowner bring the table? Here are a couple of examples:
- What is there to do nearby? Tell potential buyers about that awesome Italian restaurant within walking distance, the dog park or even how the community center down the street hosts monthly swing dance parties.
- Recent renovations. Wax on about how the new windows installed throughout the house maximize sunlight, making your home feel warm and cozy.
This website is only for Australian properties…so far. But perhaps if it’s successful it will catch on in the U.S. and provide a little something extra to help move a house from one owner to the next.
