Virtual Tours of Homes
Virtual Tours of Homes are useful, inexpensive, and easy to set up.
What Are Virtual Tours of Homes?
It's all about the photos.
The heart of any virtual tour is photos of the home. In the beginning, that's all virtual tours were! They let potential buyers view large, high quality photos of a home so they can tour the home from their computer.
As technology advanced, many virtual tours started to add 360 degree photos, that let views pan around the entire room as if they were there. This functionality is no longer as popular as it once was, probably because high quality photographs do a great job of capturing a home's feel without the distortion commonly seen in 360 degree or panoramic virtual tours.
Today, some of the most popular features in virtual tours of homes are:
- Large (min 700 pixels wide) pictures of the home
- Optional music
- Ken Burns style moving photos
- Optional video
- Mortgage calculator
- Area/ neighborhood info
- Agent contact info
Pricing
Pricing varies widely, and some companies offer a low price upfront but hit you with hidden fees. Our real estate virtual tour is priced simply, at $9 per month for unlimited tours. Other companies charge up to $30-$50 per month. It's also usually possible to purchase virtual tours individually if you only have 1 or 2 homes that need tours (contact us if you'd prefer this option). We charge $19 per tour when purchased individually, and pricing on line ranges from $10 for budget tours to up to $50 per tour.
