Photos-only listings perform well if the photos are professional, but they lack the immersive experience buyers increasingly expect.
Adding drone footage typically increases listing engagement by 40–70%, based on MLS and NAR data. Buyers spend more time on the listing and are more likely to schedule a showing.
Matterport’s aggregated industry data shows:
Listings with full 3D tours consistently show the highest engagement, longest on‑page time, and strongest conversion to showings.
Virtual staging can reduce costs by up to 90% compared to traditional staging, which normally requires renting furniture, hiring movers, and coordinating labor. Digital staging eliminates all physical logistics.
Professionally staged photos can be ready in 24–48 hours, versus days or weeks for physical staging. This speed helps listings go live sooner and stay competitive in fast-moving markets.
Listings with virtual staging receive more online views and help properties sell faster because buyers respond strongly to visually compelling images. One source notes that staged listings can sell up to 73% faster than those with empty rooms.
Empty rooms often feel cold or confusing in scale. Virtual staging shows how furniture fits, how the space flows, and what the room’s purpose could be—making it easier for buyers to imagine living there.
