The competition for their attention is fierce, and the <strong>Matterport 3D virtual tour<\/strong> has become <strong>the standard tool<\/strong> to stand out.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond the marketing buzz, does it <strong>really pays<\/strong> Should you invest 495 $ or 695 $ to create a Matterport for your property? The numbers speak for themselves: according to a Matterport study published in 2024, <strong>74 % brokers using 3D virtual tours win more listings<\/strong>, and properties equipped with a Matterport <strong>sell 20 % faster<\/strong> than those who don&#039;t have them.<\/p>\n<p>This article breaks down the real ROI of a virtual tour for selling a house in Quebec, with... <strong>numbers<\/strong>, of the <strong>concrete case studies<\/strong> and <strong>application tips<\/strong> for real estate brokers as well as for individual sellers.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>The context: why 2026 is a game-changer for residential sales<\/h2>\n<p>The Quebec real estate market has changed profoundly since the pandemic. Three trends make virtual tours essential. <strong>unavoidable<\/strong> :<\/p>\n<h3>1. Buyers filter online before traveling<\/h3>\n<p>According to data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), <strong>86 % buyers<\/strong> They begin their online search. They eliminate <strong>2 out of 3 properties<\/strong> without even making an appointment. If your ad only has <strong>5 photos and a generic text<\/strong>, You are invisible.<\/p>\n<p>A Matterport virtual tour on your listing transforms the experience: the buyer spends on average <strong>5 to 10 minutes<\/strong> During the visit, explore each room, measure the spaces. When he makes an appointment, it&#039;s because he is <strong>already qualified<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Physical visits cost time and money<\/h3>\n<p>For a broker, each physical visit represents <strong>1 to 3 hours<\/strong> including travel, presentation, and feedback. On average, over 10 visits <strong>6-7 are &quot;tire-kicking&quot;\u00ab<\/strong> Buyers who are not ready or qualified. Virtual tours filter them upstream and focus your efforts on the hottest leads.<\/p>\n<p>For a private seller (DuProprio, Centris Direct), this is even more important: each viewing you manage yourself represents an investment of personal time. Reducing the number of viewings by 50% while increasing the quality of leads translates into increased purchasing power for your time.<\/p>\n<h3>3. The market standard has risen<\/h3>\n<p>Since 2023, the main Quebec real estate platforms <strong>highlight<\/strong> Listings that include a virtual tour. On Centris, the &quot;Virtual Tour&quot; filter is used by <strong>35 % buyers<\/strong>. DuProprio includes a Matterport on <strong>all its premium listings<\/strong>. Not having one puts you in a lower category.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>The 5 measurable benefits of a virtual tour to sell a house<\/h2>\n<h3>Benefit 1: Faster sales of 20 %<\/h3>\n<p>The Matterport 2024 study (based on <strong>+50,000 properties<\/strong> in the United States and Canada) shows that homes with a Matterport sell on average <strong>20 % faster<\/strong> than those without. In a market where the average sales time is 45-60 days in Quebec, that&#039;s <strong>9 to 12 days gained<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For what ?<\/strong> Because qualified buyers arrive at the physical viewing <strong>already decided at 80 %<\/strong>. They do not ask to see 5 properties &quot;to compare&quot; \u2014 they already know that this one meets their needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefit 2: Higher selling price<\/h3>\n<p>According to Matterport, properties with virtual tours sell well. <strong>on average 4 to 9 % more expensive<\/strong> than those without. For a house at <strong>600 000 $<\/strong>, it&#039;s between <strong>24,000 $ and 54,000 $<\/strong> of potential gain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For what ?<\/strong> Two reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The virtual tour enhances the <strong>perception of quality<\/strong> of the property<\/li>\n<li>It reduces the scope for negotiations (the buyer has fewer &quot;surprises&quot; that would justify a discount).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Benefit 3: More mandates for brokers<\/h3>\n<p>For a real estate broker, offering virtual tours to sellers is a <strong>prospecting tool<\/strong>. 74 % brokers using Matterport report winning <strong>more mandates<\/strong> \u2014 either because they stand out in the evaluation, or because sellers compare their services.<\/p>\n<p>At Panosphere 360, we regularly work with Royal LePage, RE\/MAX, and independent brokers who have integrated virtual tours into their services. <strong>standard service package<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefit 4: Fewer unnecessary physical visits<\/h3>\n<p>A study by Zillow (2023) shows that a well-made virtual tour <strong>reduced by 50 %<\/strong> the number of physical viewings required before making an offer. If you are managing 5 properties simultaneously, this is <strong>15 to 20 visits avoided per month<\/strong> \u2014 time you recover to complete transactions.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefit 5: Qualified remote buyers<\/h3>\n<p>With the virtual tour, buyers <strong>from outside Quebec<\/strong> (Toronto, USA, Europe for secondary residences in the Laurentians or Mont-Tremblant) can fully visit your property before even boarding the plane. For high-end properties (&gt;1 M$), this is an acquisition channel <strong>strategic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Calculating ROI: a concrete example<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#039;s take a real-world example from Panosphere 360 \u2014 a home of <strong>2,200 square feet<\/strong> in Brossard, sold for 720,000 $ in 2024.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:24px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left; padding:12px; border-bottom:2px solid #005493; background:#e6eff7;\">Element<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left; padding:12px; border-bottom:2px solid #005493; background:#e6eff7;\">Without a virtual tour<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left; padding:12px; border-bottom:2px solid #005493; background:#e6eff7;\">With Matterport 3D<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Initial investment<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">0 $<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>495 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Sales period<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">52 days<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>34 days<\/strong> (-18 days)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Number of physical visits<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">18<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>9<\/strong> (-50 %)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Final selling price<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">690 000 $<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>720 000 $<\/strong> (+30 000 $)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Mortgage interest costs saved (18 days)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>~1 800 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Estimated net gain<\/strong> : <strong>+30 305 $<\/strong> for an investment of 495 $.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this example is anecdotal \u2014 but the pattern repeats itself <strong>systematically<\/strong> on properties that are well presented with virtual tours.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>For whom is it profitable, and for whom is it less so?<\/h2>\n<h3>\u2705 Guaranteed to be profitable:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single-family homes<\/strong> 200,000 $+ (ROI is guaranteed by the numbers)<\/li>\n<li><strong>High-end condos<\/strong> in multi-story buildings with a view<\/li>\n<li><strong>Atypical properties<\/strong> (lofts, century-old houses, farmhouses) where &quot;getting an idea&quot; is difficult without a visit<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goods sold remotely<\/strong> (international buyers or buyers from outside Quebec)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mandates with tight deadlines<\/strong> (inheritance, divorce, job relocation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u26a0\ufe0f Profitable but needs evaluation:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Studios 1\u00bd \u2013 2\u00bd<\/strong> under 250,000 $ \u2014 the cost of the visit (~395 $) represents a larger part of the price<\/li>\n<li><strong>Properties in an extremely tight market<\/strong> (10+ offers in 24 hours) \u2014 virtual tours add less value when demand is saturated<\/li>\n<li><strong>Properties in very poor condition<\/strong> (In need of renovation) \u2014 the Matterport can reveal defects.

To get the most out of it:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Prepare the property as if for a premium viewing<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Declutter<\/strong> each room (personal belongings, family photos, etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep cleaning<\/strong> \u2014 Matterport&#039;s HDR images are unforgiving<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn on all the lights<\/strong>, open the curtains to maximize the light<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the beds<\/strong>, tidy up the kitchen and bathroom counters<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hide<\/strong> dog bowls, litter boxes, cleaning products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Broadcast the tour on 5 channels<\/h3>\n<p>A single-page virtual tour delivers only a fraction of the potential ROI. Multiply your touchpoints:<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Centris or DuProprio listing<\/strong> : Integrate the Matterport link into the description<br \/>\n2. <strong>Broker&#039;s personal website<\/strong> : dedicated page per property<br \/>\n3. <strong>Facebook \/ Instagram<\/strong> : publish the link + a teaser video (preview in &quot;dollhouse&quot; mode)<br \/>\n4. <strong>Newsletter<\/strong> send to qualified buyers in database<br \/>\n5. <strong>QR code<\/strong> on the &quot;For Sale&quot; sign in front of the property (passersby can visit on their phones)<\/p>\n<h3>3. Measure the statistics<\/h3>\n<p>Matterport provides <strong>integrated analytics<\/strong> How many people opened the tour, how much time they spent on it, and which rooms they visited most often. For a broker, this is a <strong>qualification tool<\/strong> : a buyer who spends 8 minutes in the kitchen and main bathroom is <strong>hot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>How much does it cost exactly?<\/h2>\n<p>Our rates for capturing a residential property:<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:24px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left; padding:12px; border-bottom:2px solid #005493; background:#e6eff7;\">Property type<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left; padding:12px; border-bottom:2px solid #005493; background:#e6eff7;\">Recommended service<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left; padding:12px; border-bottom:2px solid #005493; background:#e6eff7;\">2026 Price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Studio \/ 1.5 up to 600 sq ft<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Matterport 3D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>395 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">2\u00bd \u2013 3\u00bd (condo 600-1,500 ft\u00b2)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Matterport 3D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>395 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">4\u00bd \u2013 5\u00bd or 1,500-2,500 sq ft house<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Matterport 3D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>495 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">House 2,500-3,500 sq ft<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Matterport 3D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>595 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">House 3,500-4,500 sq ft<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Matterport 3D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>695 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Luxury home, 4,500-5,500 sq ft<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">Matterport 3D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\"><strong>795 $<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For the <strong>high-end properties<\/strong> (&gt;1.5 M$), we recommend a package <strong>Matterport + HDR photography + aerial drone<\/strong> which starts at <strong>895 $<\/strong>.
