I agree with elaborating on the neighborhood with the listing. It is value added information.

“I’ve found it easier reading when the paragraphs are short.” – and with a few pictures.

As for listings…I don’t know that it is inherently bad either – unless it’s every other post. If you write regularly and throw in a listing every so often I don’t think it would be all that bad.

I have had showings for my own listings from blog posts and since we do still blog for business, right?, I think it can be justified.

To me it’s how you go about it—just to announce a new listing, it might be too much to have thousands of blogs announcing listings and it would water down what bloggin is about—but to write up something that is filled with rich information about the listing, neighborhood and area—the tell the story of the home—is, to me, a very good use of the blog.

Yes, I think the more interesting the home, the easier the writing and the more effective—but just about every listing has a story that can be creatively told and marketed by blogging.

I had my doubts until i thought about all the possiblities—with my site i can create a separate blogsite for each listing, giving the listing a website in blog form where I can write several posts about the blog and create interests—I’m just getting started with this and got the idea from Bloodhound, but the more i think about it the more possibilities I see—not only to write posts about the listing, but expand information about the neighborhood and area for future listings.

I think that blogging about a listing may be beneficial to a certain degree. Obvious a property with an interesting history would be a no brainer.
