As someone who has been using video tours for listings for a few years (thanks Youtube & Wellcomemat), I'm happy to say the RMLS is encouraging more of this marketing method.
According to the RMLS, it will soon give Realtors the option of uploading video tours of their listings in addition to or instead of virtual tours. For as techy as Portland is, I have not seen much use of video in real estate. Hopefully, this will encourage other real estate agents in Portland to use video. Sellers love it and so do the buyers. Here's an example of a home video tour:
Also, about two years ago the RMLS allowed Realtors to distinguish between green homes from normal homes in the database. This gave us the ability to conduct home searches looking solely for green homes. In a minor modification, the RMLS will now require Realtors to input the year in which a house or condo was certified to be green.
These changes should take place at the end of the year.
