Frequently Asked Questions: Real Estate Media ROI
How do I calculate ROI on real estate media?
Compare media cost to days-on-market saved × daily carrying cost × probability of higher offer. Professional media typically pays back 5-20x on listings over $500k.
What's the typical payback period on professional photography?
Usually a single listing. For a $700k home, professional media ($494-$1,343) is recouped from one week of saved carrying costs.
Do more expensive media packages always have better ROI?
Not always. Platinum's ROI is highest on luxury listings where premium marketing differentiates. Silver's ROI is highest on middle-market listings where photo quality is the bottleneck.
