Single mum seeks to inspire people to move home again

The stress of moving home, sky high property prices, tough lending criteria, unemployment and a struggling global economy have all contributed to the near collapse of the property markets all over the world, bursting the worldwide property bubble that we saw before 2007.

With a slow recovery being reported by financial institutions everywhere, it’s little wonder that those green shoots are taking a long time to grow back and bloom into flower. With the age of the average first time buyer having risen to 38 years old in some parts of the world, because many people just simply can’t afford or don’t qualify to get a mortgage, lobbying groups are calling for urgent measures to be taken to get the economy back on it’s feet again.

Inspired by her career of organising household relocations all over the world, a single mum has set up a new website claiming to “Take the Stress out of Moving”. The website called Moving etc… TV was created to try and inspire consumers to get back on the ladder and buy and sell property and move home again, whilst allowing property professionals to market themselves and their services to the website visitors.

Since it’s launch, Moving etc… TV http://www.movingetc.tv has grown in leaps and bounds and more and more visitors are being sent by Google, Bing and Yahoo to the website as well as from Facebook, Twitter, Diggit and other social media websites where potential customers might see a link and click through.

Aiming to provide a worldwide relocation resource for home and commercial movers, Moving etc… TV utilises social media technology so property professionals can easily log in, add content about their company and services, add articles offering expert advice, upload pictures and videos for available properties, update their status which in turn updates their Facebook and Twitter status, add backlinks through to their own website, network with other property people and customers and much more.

Unlike some other social networking websites, Moving etc… TV is completely open, so all activity is viewable by the public and search engines alike, except internal private emails between members and moderated group activity.

The team behind Moving etc… TV are hoping to inspire people to get moving again and get the global economy back on it’s feet. If not to the levels of 2006/2007, at least to a steady growth so that service providers connected to the property industry start to trade profitably again and homeowners including young families gain enough confidence in the market to buy and sell again.

Jane Finch, Creative Director at Moving etc… TV and single mum says, “The property industry has for too long been all about property prices and how much money you can make if you buy or sell this house or that property. We have forgotten that moving home and relocating from one area to another doesn't have to be about the cost of living or how much your house is worth, but instead can be about the quality of life you live.

“Who dictates that you have to live in the area or stay where you grew up? There are some beautiful, low cost areas to live all over the world. Very often, people choose to stay in one place because it’s safe and secure, when in fact, a shift in circumstances or new location can usually bring a new lease of life and sense of adventure.”

Finch says that there are people moving home and property is being sold, but mostly to landlords and property investors who see opportunity in the property prices, knowing that they will go up again once the economy starts moving. However, for the average family, holding onto their property is a safe bet until they can see real improvement in the market. This of course has a knock on effect to the property market as a whole, including the service providers surrounding the industry, such as builders, removal companies, furniture providers, estate agents, solicitors and many more. If one link is broken or slows down, it has an effect on everything surrounding it. So if people don't start selling their properties and move home, businesses connected to the property industry can't trade profitably, which in turn reduces the money flowing through other companies.

Over the years, Finch has helped move hundreds of people locally within the UK, across Europe and Overseas to far off exotic locations. She points out that if you don’t see an opportunity for yourself, or see a way out of a sticky situation, life can become pretty hopeless and dull. Security becomes the norm and when that happens people tend to take less risks, that would otherwise enhance their life. As we all know, a holiday can be a much welcome stress reliever. A move to a whole new life can bring back excitement and hope. Just thinking about what it’s like to live somewhere else, imagining a whole new life in front of you can go a long way to improving our health, financial status and sense of worth.

Jane invites property professionals to help her get the property market moving again by joining Moving etc… TV. It’s free to join and add your content. In particular, pictures, videos and content about areas where people can afford to live are welcome.
