Been There, Done That

Under construction and computer generated images of this house intrigued the heck out of me, especially because it has been on the market for over 170 days. Do you buy it now and hope that it will look like the images? Or wait until it is finished and then decide if it’s worth it? I have yet to find someone who had construction done on a house that came to the exact amount of the original quote.

Add to that a virtual description while looking at a vacant lot on an ‘overhead map’ is definitely a different way to market something. Is this where our marketing is headed in the future? Thinking of all the possibilities definitely boggles my mind.

Here is what that 2011 car will probably look like that you can buy now and park in that virtual garage on that virtual house you just bought. And here are your future virtual children playing in the virtual play area of that virtual house you just bought. I had better stop now before my whole virtual life is bought and paid for the rest of my life. Assuming, of course, that I live that long.
