5 Listing Enhancements That Make Homes Sell Faster (and Look More Expensive)
When buyers scroll through listings, they make decisions in seconds. Great visuals don’t just grab attention — they build perceived value.
“96% of home buyers rate photos as the most useful feature on an agent’s website.”
That means the quality of your visuals isn’t just a marketing decision, it’s a sales strategy.
If you want your listings to sell faster and look more premium, here are five enhancements that make a measurable difference.
1. Aerial Photography — Show the Full Story
Homes with aerial photos sell 68% faster than those without (Amplifiles, 2025).
Buyers don’t just want to see a house, they want to see the neighborhood story. Aerial photography captures what ground-level photos can’t: the property’s layout, lot size, and proximity to local amenities.
Drone photos also help listings appear more professional and can increase engagement on MLS and social media.
Adding short aerial video clips to your listing or Instagram Reels can showcase curb appeal and location context.

2. Photo Enhancements — Make Every Photo Pop
Empty homes sit on the market longer. By virtually staging your listing, you allow every potential buyer to imagine what it would look like to actually live in the home.
Sometimes weather, lighting, or landscaping conditions don’t cooperate — but that doesn’t mean your photos can’t shine. Virtual enhancements like sky replacements, color balancing, or virtual twilight can transform the feel of a property instantly.
Homes with professional photography receive up to 118% more online views than listings with amateur photos according to Fotober.
Moreover, enhancements like virtual staging or daylight correction can increase perceived home value by as much as 10% in buyer surveys.
If your photos weren’t taken in the perfect season, we can make it summer all year round.
3. 3D Virtual Tours — Turn Browsers Into Buyers
3D visuals don’t just show homes, they build confidence before the showing.
Virtual tours let buyers explore at their own pace, reducing the gap between curiosity and action. According to Redfin, homes with 3D walkthroughs or virtual tours receive 49% more qualified leads and spend less time on market (Redfin, 2024).
They’re especially valuable for out-of-town buyers who want to visualize space without scheduling a visit. NAR reports that 55% of buyers found virtual tours “very useful” during their search.
Moreover, homes with video or 3D tours sell up to 31% faster.
4. Floor Plans — Clarity Builds Confidence
Floorplans help build transparency, transparency builds trust, and trust gets showings.
A floor plan is one of the simplest yet most overlooked listing tools. It helps buyers visualize how the space will work for their lifestyle.
81% of buyers say they’re more likely to view a home if the listing includes a floor plan (Zillow Consumer Housing Trends Report, 2024).
Homes with floor plans get 52% more clicks and spend fewer days on market.
5. Twilight Photography — Sell the Feeling, Not Just the Home
When buyers fall in love with the image, they’re already halfway to falling in love with the home.
Twilight photos capture emotion: the golden glow from the windows, the warm exterior lights, the “welcome home” moment. They’re particularly effective for luxury listings or homes with standout architecture.
Listings with twilight photos get 76% more clicks on average than standard daylight photos (Virtuance, 2024).
They also boost perceived value, with agents reporting higher engagement on both MLS and social media.
Final Thoughts
Your listing visuals are often your first showing — and sometimes your only one.
From aerial shots that showcase the story of the neighborhood to twilight photos that capture the heart of the home, the right enhancements can turn an average listing into a standout experience.
“87% of home buyers rely on photos to decide whether to visit a property in person.”
If your visuals don’t inspire clicks, you’re already behind.
