For the purpose of this article, we are going to focus on the importance of quality, professional real estate photos when selling your Farmington Hills MI home. Studies reveal that professional real estate photos can help a listing sell faster and for the highest price compared to homes without quality professional photos.
As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and in real estate, quality, professional real estate photos can make a huge difference in how quickly your home sells. Professional quality photos can help increase the number of people clicking on your listing and are often what pique a buyer’s interest in your home, prompting them to take the next step with their real estate agent.
According to the National Association of Realtors®, 92% of buyers use the internet to shop for a home. Real estate listing photos are particularly important when it comes to home shopping online. 95.1% of buyers first look at pictures over everything else on a listing. Without photos, many buyers won’t even bother clicking on a listing. And only after the photos caught their attention did they move onto the property description section.
For a home to sell quickly and for the highest price possible, it will need to entice as many prospective buyers as possible. Buyers tend to formulate a first impression of a property based on the online listing. As a result, web appeal has become the new curb appeal and why you need quality listing photos that show your home in the best possible light.
The quality of your photos and their ability to effectively highlight the condition of the home, the level of finish, quality of materials, and the size, are all important factors to consider. Your listing must have a strong visual appeal, and the primary exterior photos of your home are critical.
Below are a few tips to ensure that the primary exterior photos of your home show off its best features:
- Mow the lawn & trim the bushes.
- Store away outdoor items like bicycles, children’s toys, lawn furniture, equipment, tools, etc.
- Replace a worn-out welcome mat with a new one.
- Place a pot of colorful flowers or an evergreen plant on your front porch.
- Power-wash your driveway, walkway, and the exterior of your home.
- Edge the grass around walks and trees and add fresh mulch to your planting beds.
- Add or upgrade outdoor lighting (buyers often drive by your home at night).
- Place a seasonal wreath on your front door.
A strong, real estate photo will focus more on the buildings/rooms architecture, design, and space rather than on furniture and decor. That being said, well-furnished rooms and spectacularly staged photos attract homebuyers by helping them envision their new life in your home. It’s best to remove everything that distracts from your purpose of making the home look attractive such as extra furniture, clutter or personal items.
Quality real estate photos need the right light, angles, and composition to capture emotion, structure, and beauty. In addition, most real estate websites are designed to work best with horizontal (landscape) images. A mixture of horizontal and vertical images within a property listing can be distracting for your viewers.
