How Much Does Real Estate Photography Cost in Toronto?

25 Sep How Much Does Real Estate Photography Cost in Toronto?

It is the first question most agents ask, and most photography websites answer it with “contact us for a quote”. Here is the straight answer for Toronto and the GTA, with the prices we actually charge.

Short answer

For a typical Toronto home under 2,000 sq ft, professional listing photography starts at $249.99. Adding a floor plan, drone coverage or a video takes a full listing package to roughly $350–$750, depending on what the property needs.

What each service costs

Every price above is the starting price for a property up to 2,000 sq ft. Larger properties are priced by size — the full table is on our packages and prices page. Drone coverage and twilight photography are the same price whatever the size.

Why prices change with the property

• Size. A 4,000 sq ft home has more rooms to light, shoot and edit than a condo, so photography moves from $249.99 to $349.99 and up.
• Services booked. A photo-only listing costs less than one with video, a 3D tour and a floor plan — but booking them together means one visit instead of three.
• Location. Inside the GTA there is no travel charge. Outside our standard service area a travel fee may apply, and we tell you before the booking is confirmed.
• Timing. Twilight photography happens in a short window after sunset, so it is a separate visit.

What a listing package usually looks like

• Condo or townhouse: photography plus a schematic floor plan — from $349.98.
• Detached home: photography, floor plan and drone coverage — from $549.97.
• Premium listing: photography, video, 3D tour, floor plan and twilight exteriors.

Those figures are the published starting prices added together for a property up to 2,000 sq ft; tell us the property and we will quote the exact package.

What you get for it

• Edited, high-resolution photos plus web-sized versions for MLS and social media.
• Photos and 3D tours delivered within 24 hours of the shoot, video within 48 hours.
• One visit for everything booked, so the seller is only disturbed once.

Is it worth it?

Photography is the cheapest part of marketing a property and the first thing a buyer judges it on. The cost of a full media package is a fraction of one percent of the sale price of a typical GTA home, and it is what every online impression of the listing is built from.
