It’s funny but many people still begin their search in the Sunday Paper. I dont get as many calls from ads as a few years ago but still get them regularly from people at the beginning of their search.
Regarding video tours, i’m not sold on them. The name of the game in marketing anything is getting people to come look at the merchandise in person. Give them too much information and they dont need to see it in person. Many of the tours are slow loading and poor technology also. Throw in a slow computer or Internet connection and you freeze up people’s systems. I would guess that I actually wait and view less then half the virtual tour I click on in the MLS for this reason. Realtors will claim their virtual tours are great marketing tools in an attempt to differentiate themselves in the eyes of sellers but I say show me the money! It’s another thing Realtors throw at seller’s to entice them with a high perceived value but I believe high quality still photography is much more important.
