Why 3D Virtual Tours Are the Future of Real Estate Marketing

What is a 3D virtual tour in real estate?

[{"selector":"#anim-d63cc339-de6d-4d04-a341-9ce36eae2034","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-16222531-9118-4561-91d7-495f226d395b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f215392-1246-4f9e-8fc2-5c1e8b7a53fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] A 3D virtual tour is a digital walkthrough of a property that allows potential buyers to explore rooms and layouts interactively using animated or real footage.

How does a 3D virtual tour help sell real estate properties?

[{"selector":"#anim-840a2fa4-7ef8-433b-9d43-f147c0ae8059","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b8d5044-42ea-4e3b-8526-0651a1172ae0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3a5d59b-63a9-4120-89a9-85e4544845df","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] It gives buyers a realistic view of the property, increases online engagement, and reduces unnecessary physical visits—saving time for agents and buyers.

How long does it take to produce a 3D virtual real estate tour video?

[{"selector":"#anim-6bd21d47-5c27-4987-b309-938873c1849f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bfe90df7-6230-400d-b229-a25c10bfab9d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d94787d8-e0bd-4717-9c5c-909daa8f8071","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Typically, it can take 5–15 days depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the animation.

Can 3D walkthrough videos be used for under-construction properties?

[{"selector":"#anim-56a29524-84f3-4d4f-8fb4-964c4ad3e1b9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d43e9db-f723-4f8f-b612-4fddb8fe5779","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-186cef19-ccc0-4716-a62b-4d78523d090b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Absolutely. CGI and 3D walkthroughs are often used to showcase projects before they are physically built.

Do 3D real estate tours improve lead conversion rates?

[{"selector":"#anim-9f265665-ffce-42ea-8869-077f17c7a9fe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53399ebd-7911-421a-8d07-07004f8fbefa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c63ef5e-80a7-4606-93e9-4963257349fe","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Yes. Listings with 3D tours get up to 49% more qualified leads and are viewed 5–8x longer than traditional listings.
