   Depends on whom you want to advertise to…… MLS listings work for real estate agents, Craigslist, ebay work good for consumers

   Have you tried working with a realtor. The MLS is usually the best place to place for sell listings, but you can also try Zillow.com and Realtytrac.com. i believe Zillow is free but Realtytrac charges a fee. Hope I helped.

   Depending on whether or not you are the Realtor, Builder or Owner may dictate how you advertise. Sites like Trulia and Realtor.com require you to be licensed to sell real estate and possibly a member of the MLS.

   If you’re not licensed, or if you’re the owner of the property and selling it FSBO, you have plenty of options. First, as I mentioned in an article entitled 10 Things Any Home Seller Can Do To Outmarket Average Realtors for Under $100, you need to use a syndication to get the most exposure for your new home(s). vFlyer.com, Postlets.com and ClassifiedFlyerAds.com are all good ones. They will distribute your ad to the top real estate marketplaces like HotPads, Oodle, Trulia (if you’re on the MLS), Zillow, and a million other sites nobody has ever heard of.

   I know ClassifiedFlyerAds syndicates listings to Yahoo Real Estate for free. These fliers can and do rank in Google search results, which can be awesome if someone Googles your primary keywords. Plus, their services are free or minimal in cost. I just paid for a premium Postlets.com listing and it was $5. It’s showing up for my primary search keyword phrase one day later.

   Marketplace sites like craigslist, Kijiji, Backpage, LiveDeal, GumTree and others can be great venues but you have to manually post your listing there. The nice thing is, the syndication services will give you the code you need to simply paste your ad into these marketplace sites, making it very simple.

   Also, sites like Google Base, (base.google.com) are often fed by syndication sites, but I’ve never seen any of my listings show up in search results unless I manually post it to base.google.com. FSBO’s should always manually post there and Zillow.com in my opinion.

   New homes are a different animal than pre-owned homes but one difference I’ve experienced is that marketing new homes on eBay is a waste of money.

   Finally, if you’re marketing new homes and you aren’t using Google Adwords for advertising, you may be missing some big opportunities. With a new home you’re selling the community as much, if not more, than you’re selling the home itself and that can really lend itself to pay-per-click advertising.

   Depending on the community, the demographic of your home buyers, etc. there are a lot of possibilities for you. Write me if you want any more info.

   Best wishes on your marketing endeavors!
