Quick FAQs

Do listing videos sell homes faster by a set number of days?

The NAR report linked above does not give a days-on-market number.

Do photos still matter more than video?

In that 2025 NAR report, yes. Photos rank above videos for both buyers' and sellers' agents.

Should every listing get a video?

If you can use the photos, a short video is a low-cost add. It is not a promise of a sale.

Where should I show video to a seller?

In the listing presentation. Play it. Do not only talk about it.
