Zillow 3D Home tours explained, and when not to use one
Zillow 3D Home tour vs. walkthrough video vs. Matterport: a St. Johns real estate photographer from Megapixeler clears up the confusion.
This is Alvaro with Megapixeler, your local real estate photographer here in St. Johns. Agents often ask me about different tools, and Zillow 3D virtual tours have been a hot topic recently.
People often confuse a Zillow tour with a walkthrough video or a Matterport tour, and some aren’t sure when not to use it. This quick video clears things up.
Zillow tour, Matterport or video?
They solve different problems. A Zillow 3D Home tour lives on Zillow and pairs with an interactive floor plan. A Matterport tour is a full 3D model that works anywhere you share the link. A walkthrough video tells the home’s story in motion and travels well on social media. The right choice depends on the home, the price point and where the listing will be promoted.
Happy to talk through which one fits your next listing.
