Ask Your Agent for a Virtual Tour
If you're selling your house, you've probably looked around on Zillow or Realtor.com to see what other houses are selling for, what the photos look like, or maybe even to get some inspiration for staging or updates.
You may have noticed something becoming more and more common: 3D Virtual Tours.
Selling Faster
According to Zillow's Consumer Housing Trends Report, listings with virtual tours sell 14% faster and get 37% more views than homes without virtual tours.
Think about it — you're giving potential buyers the opportunity to see your home in advance, without having to coordinate with their agent or wait for an open house. For buyers looking to move quickly, this is a game-changer.
Selling For More
Analysis by Matterport, an industry leader in virtual tour technology, shows that homes using their virtual tour software increase their sales price by 9%.
Let's calculate the Return On Investment:
For Cleveland area homes, the median square footage is 1,427. The median sale price is $125,000 (as of June 2024).
At CLE3D, our virtual tours are just $0.10 per square foot scanned (with a $100 minimum).
If we take the median home, a virtual tour would cost about $142.70 (the actual square footage scanned may vary based on unfinished basements, walk-in closets, etc.). If the listing actually sold for 9% higher, that would mean it sold for $136,250.
$11,250 extra on the home sale
-$142.70 for the cost of the virtual tour
= $11,107.30 in added home sale value
And that's based purely on Matterport's projection of a 9% sales increase — in reality, a sales increase of just 1% would more than cover the cost of a virtual tour from CLE3D.
The Takeaway
A virtual tour of your home will help:
SAVE YOU TIME from showings and open houses
SELL FASTER by letting buyers see your home in advance
SELL FOR MORE compared to listings without virtual tours
Selling your home involves a lot of work, but you have tools at your disposal to make the process easier. Let your bank handle the financials, let your real estate agent handle the coordination and paperwork, and let us handle the property imagery that will make your home STAND OUT — ultimately leading to a faster, more rewarding, and overall less stressful experience.
