Any real estate listing needs outstanding photos to capture potential buyers' attention in today's competitive market. But how much should you expect to pay for professional real estate photography? What is included in the cost, and are there any additional services that can enhance your listing?
How Much Should Professional Real Estate Photos Cost?
The cost of real estate photos depends on several factors, such as the number of pictures required and the type of photography chosen. At HomeJab, for example, a typical photoshoot with high-quality images costs $250 for a home listed at $450,000, with basic packages starting at just $155. This debunks the myth that real estate photography is only affordable for luxury homes. In fact, the return on investment is well worth it.
A study by Redfin revealed that listings with professional real estate photos receive 61% more views than those with amateur shots. DSLR photography, in particular, results in the fastest home sale at the highest price.
HDR Vs. Standard Real Estate Photography
When considering real estate photography pricing, it's important to understand the difference between HDR and standard photography. HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography combines multiple levels of light exposure to produce detailed and vibrant photos, making rooms look brighter and more spacious. On the other hand, standard photography uses a single level of light exposure.
While HDR photos have become increasingly popular for their visual appeal, standard photography can still provide high-quality shots while saving on costs.

What Are the Costs of Add-On Services for Real Estate Photography?
In addition to HDR and standard photography, we offer a range of add-on services to enhance your listing and attract potential buyers. Some popular options include real estate videos, aerial photography, 3D virtual tours, virtual staging, twilight photography, and neighborhood photos. Each add-on serves a unique purpose and can make your listing stand out from the competition.
The pricing for these add-ons varies. Some are bundled together in specific packages, while others can be ordered individually. For example, our Luxury HDR Packages include virtual dusk images at no extra cost. However, if you're not interested in the full package, you can purchase virtual dusk images for $40 per photo. Twilight photography, in particular, has proven to drive more traffic to listings, with homes featuring this service receiving 3 times more clicks.
