Google Street View: Will this help sell your house?

Since the advent of Google in 1996 the company has been at the forefront of innovation. They’ve done it again. The release of Google Street View recently made a big splash in the US. It’s set to do the same in Australia following its release on Tuesday.

From a real estate stand point, the new view has increased the level of service on offer to a potential property purchaser. Google Street View allows the potential purchaser to take a “virtual walk” from the front of the designated address. Using this tool, consumers can now not only gain a feel for the front of the property, but for the street and surrounding streets as well.
 
Like most industries, real estate has changed substantially as a result of the internet.  Google Street View represents another component in that evolution.

I think this will be a great tool to sell your home. Once word gets around and everyone has gone to google and had a play with it, I think they will expect it to be available on all real estate sites when searching the net for a new home. Elita

As an individual this is fantastic as I now can visit family and friends and see where they live. As a sales person who deals in a wide area it enables me to give informed advice when asked. Adam
