(2026 Data)","Real 2026 prices from 333 photographers: the median package costs $200, and most packages fall between $150 and $300. See rates by service and state.","\nA 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.\n\nThis guide shows what each service costs, what changes the price, and how to book at a fair rate.\n\n## The short answer\n\n| What you buy | Typical price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Standard photo package | $200 |\n| Middle 50% of all packages | $150 - $300 |\n| Lowest advertised rate (median) | $150 |\n\nA standard package includes 25-50 edited, MLS-ready photos of the interior and the exterior. Delivery takes 24-48 hours with most photographers.\n\n## Price by service\n\nSome agents need more than photos. The table below shows the typical price of each service when a photographer sells it alone.\n\n| Service | Typical price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Property photos | $200 |\n| HDR photos | $175 |\n| 2D floor plan | $205 |\n| Video walkthrough | $195 |\n| Aerial photography | $150 |\n| Drone photography | $125 |\n| Photo enhancement | $100 |\n\nAdd-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.\n\nOur [pricing guide](/real-estate-photography-pricing) shows the live version of this table, with sample sizes and price ranges.\n\n## What changes the price\n\n**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.\n\n**Add-on services.** Drone shots, twilight photos, video, and 3D tours each add to the base package.\n\n**Turnaround.** Standard delivery takes 24-48 hours. Same-day delivery often adds a rush fee.\n\n**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](/real-estate-photography-pricing) lists every state with enough data.\n\n## Is the price worth it?\n\nIndustry 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.\n\n## How to book a photographer\n\n1. Open the [photographer directory](/real-estate-photographers) and select your state.\n2. Compare portfolios and prices. Most PropPhoto profiles list prices upfront.\n3. Contact the photographer, or [post your job for free](/post-job) and receive quotes by email.\n\nPrices on this page reflect August 2026 data. The [pricing guide](/real-estate-photography-pricing) always shows the current numbers.\n","\u003Cp>A standard real estate photography package costs $200. Most packages fall between $150 and $300.
