The internet is a teenager. In terms of years, it is in its early teens. Although it seems like it has been around for decades, it is still in its early years.

The ‘information highway' has certainly changed the way we live. Online we can shop, book vacations and flights, sell stuff, watch movies, download music, email and find directions to where we want to go. The question is what is there that we cannot do on the internet.

Years ago, the problem real estate owners had selling privately was marketing their property to potential buyers. They could run an ad in the newspaper, however this form of advertising is expensive. Plus the ad had a short shelf life.

Now private sellers can post their property on local classified websites like Durham Central and Kijiji. Since consumers are doing a lot of shopping on the internet, they find this a convenient way to shop for a new home.

Those joining the for sale by owner market can now utilize the services of online companies like HomesByOwner.com. They provide the marketing tools required to effectively put the property in front of potential buyers. Over 80% of consumers start their search for a new home on the internet.
