A standard real estate photography package costs $200. Most packages fall between $150 and $300. These numbers are not estimates. They come from 684 packages that 333 photographers publish on PropPhoto, measured in August 2026.

This guide shows what each service costs, what changes the price, and how to book at a fair rate.

The short answer

What you buy Typical price
Standard photo package $200
Middle 50% of all packages $150 - $300
Lowest advertised rate (median) $150

A standard package includes 25-50 edited, MLS-ready photos of the interior and the exterior. Delivery takes 24-48 hours with most photographers.

Price by service

Some agents need more than photos. The table below shows the typical price of each service when a photographer sells it alone.

Service Typical price
Property photos $200
HDR photos $175
2D floor plan $205
Video walkthrough $195
Aerial photography $150
Drone photography $125
Photo enhancement $100

Add-on prices are lower than standalone prices. A drone add-on to a photo package costs less than a separate drone booking, because the photographer is already on site.

What changes the price

Property size. Most photographers set the price by square footage or by photo count. A large home needs more photos and more time on site.

Add-on services. Drone shots, twilight photos, video, and 3D tours each add to the base package.

Turnaround. Standard delivery takes 24-48 hours. Same-day delivery often adds a rush fee.

Local market. Prices follow local home values and photographer supply. In California, the typical package costs $250. In Arizona, the typical package costs $150. The pricing guide lists every state with enough data.

Is the price worth it?

Industry studies found that listings with professional photos can sell up to 32% faster, and for $3,000 to $11,000 more. Compare that to the package price. On a $400,000 sale, a 3% commission is $12,000. A $200 photo package is less than 2% of that commission.

How to book a photographer

  1. Open the photographer directory and select your state.
  2. Compare portfolios and prices. Most PropPhoto profiles list prices upfront.
  3. Contact the photographer, or post your job for free and receive quotes by email.
