Housing Bubble 2.0

Written by Jim the Realtor

April 27, 2019

This guy is killing me.

I’ve spent the last thirteen years trying to build an audience here by presenting as much evidence as I can find to interest home buyers and sellers, and I am very appreciative of you joining me!

My videos get 100-200 views, and I have 1,065 YouTube subscribers!

This realtor starts a YouTube account three weeks ago, and does five videos on Housing Bubble 2.0.

He has 5,721 subscribers, and 9,976 views of this video with 408 thumbs up and 154 comments!  People must be attracted to doom?

You tell me – would you rather see and hear this format style and data?

    Bla bla bla. He probably bought half those followers and clicks. Keep rockin’ JTR!

    I’m confused…why anyone would watch that.

    I can’t find the “Susan” commercial about buying a house. Can you please help me? The one about always a good time to buy? Thanks Jim

    I couldn’t find it – there are too many other Susan-the-Realtor videos since that say the same thing though!

    I suppose it all depends on if you are selling “clicks” or houses.

    Credibility is hard to earn and you’ve got it.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. His you tube was started in 2015. Has videos going back a year on his channel and may have deleted or hidden older ones.

    Ok, that’s what you’re for?

    If you’re the same guy who has been using the handle, Name?

    Youtube did change their format – when you click on the channel name it only shows the last five videos, so I stand corrected on that.

    He has many videos with views in the five figures, up to 45,000!

    Even an old school broken watch is right 2 times a day. Make enough predictions and you will eventually be right. “Economists and are the only people paid to be wrong” said my econ professors in college. At 19, I did not know how true that was. Brilliant comment.

    About six mins into this guy’s video and I was starting to doze off! But, I forced myself to watch the rest of the video and I was not impressed. He’s just sitting at a desk and reading off articles that support his negative assumptions. Sure, a lot of that stuff has merit, but you need to look at the bigger, global picture.

    As for his number of views and subscribers, I’m showing that he actually started this channel on May 14, 2015, per the “About” link on his YouTube page. And he’s got a total of 48 videos, with the first one being posted on: Jun 1, 2018

    I suppose that gloom/doom is similar to the “if it bleeds, it leads” type of mentality with news stories. People are more attracted to that type of stuff.

    Personally I like your videos better, since they’re mostly out in the streets and actually walking through houses, developments, etc. and then providing commentary. Which is 100% more entertaining, as well as educational!

    Keep up the great work and hopefully more of us will continue to share your postings and videos with our own personal networks and help grow your viewer base!

    P.S. – I see a lot of other “YouTubers” always ask their viewers to like and share their videos and to become subscribers to their channel. Maybe you just need to do the same thing at the end of all your YouTube videos? “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.”
