Via Metroblogging Vancouver: For those real estate junkies who can't get enough of the local property market, and for the rest of us who just like to gawk at shiny new condos with their granite (granite!) kitchen counter tops, Vancouver now has its own, 24-hour real estate network.
If you're a Novus customer you can find it at channel 80 on your dial, otherwise you can also go to their website at www.realestatechannel.ca.
Unlike your father's old community-tv listings which featured still photos of crappy properties, the Real Estate Channel features slick videos of beautiful places, which you can download to your PC, iPod or other mobile device.
One can't help but feel that the future has finally arrived. One also can't help but wonder whether this new venture will survive the looming correction in the local condo market. It's a tough time to start, at the peak of the bubble, but we really do hope they can hang in there -the site is well put together.
To check out a promo video for the channel, click here. Besides apartment listings, you can also download video profiles of local neighbourhoods and real estate brokers. (One minor flaw though, is that the streaming is a little clunky. Best to wait for the entire video to download before watching it).
Lastly, Concord Pacific has an interesting promo video that you can find here. It shows a brief aerial before & after shot of North False Creek, in addition to previews of other developments from around the province, and in Toronto.
