• 2 billion videos are viewed on YouTube every day.  That’s twice as many as last year!

• The average person watches 182 online videos every month. 

• 51% of all content viewed online is video content.

• 73% of homeowners say they’re more likely to list with a Realtor offering to do video, yet only 12% of the real estate industry currently have YouTube accounts.  (Source: mashable.com)

• More than ever before, home buyers are utilizing YouTube during their home search process.

In a recent study conducted by Google, home buyers were asked how they utilized YouTube during their home search, and here’s what they had to say. 

• 86% utilized YouTube to find out more about a specific community.
• 82% utilized YouTube to “virtually” tour available homes for sale.
• 70% utilized YouTube to get tips on buying a home.
