Before I started The Home Blog, I had been maintaining Home4Sale, an attempt to sell my house with the aid of blogging. Although the traffic was mostly slow and I didn't get a single lead from the blog, the experience was good and I think there is real potential to use a weblog as part of the home selling process.
Annie is trying to sell her Bungalow with the aid of a blog. But she's missing a few important details here. First off there is no indication as to where this home is. No MLS number, etc. She has also not included any photos of the house or the neighborhood. Finally, there is no sense of personality of the house and the neighborhood it is located in. Links to local schools, stores, restaurants, etc are all easy to do and crucial to helping sell your property to a new owner.
I wish Annie luck, but would like to see more from her and others in the blogosphere.
Note: the Home4Sale website will disappear now that our house has been sold. I tried to get Typepad.com to allow me to park the domain or set a forward on it, but it was a no go unless I continued to pay a monthly fee. Something I don't think is reasonable for a dead weblog.
