Kelowna which situated in the Okanagan Valley is the real reason this city is experiencing incredible price rises, where else can you have mediterranean type summers and mild winters.

There has been an increase in the luxury end of property development which has attracted a lot of international buyers - so what is so special about this place.

There is the lake at 78 miles long it provides beautiful vistas for those fortunate to be at a higher elevation, with a backdrop of vineyards and mountains it all adds up to quite an intoxicating mixture.

Kelowna has an international airport which has plans for expansion and Vancouver is a mere 250 miles to the West.

If you have never visited Kelowna then what are you waiting for. Oh and while you are here you must check out the Real estate.

If you think real estate ads have to be traditional listings and boring pictures, think again. Real estate developers in Canada are hoping a few “Sex & The City” type ads will create a bigger buzz for their new development in Vancouver.

by Kristina Knight

Called “Donovan Life”, the project has garnered some interest from potential tenants and from the advertising world, and it isn’t the first such offering. The Dove soap brand hired “Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman to star in webisodes last year with some success. In the ads, Huffman was transported back into classic sitcoms. For real estate, however, this is a fairly new idea and one worth taking note of.

Garry Benson, chief executive of Garrison Partners, a national real estate marketing company based in Chicago said (via the Chicago Tribune), “Historically, a third of our traffic is going to come from traditional media such as newspapers, a third from signage and a third is from other forms of outreach, such as the Internet.”

Learning how to draw potential buyers in from Internet advertising has been difficult because other than displaying static pictures on websites and describing the property, there is little a real estate broker can do. By using webisodes, developers can show real people in a real space, interacting. It is a kind of slice of life advertisement.
