Zillow 3D Home brings virtual tours to every agent regardless of budget. Using just your smartphone, you can capture 360-degree panoramas of each room and Zillow stitches them into an interactive walkthrough. The tours are displayed prominently on your Zillow listings, and homes with 3D tours get significantly more views.
For agents who want virtual tours but cannot justify the cost of Matterport hardware, Zillow 3D Home is the perfect starting point. The capture process is straightforward — the app guides you through each room, telling you where to stand and how to rotate. The stitching and processing happen in the cloud, and your tour is usually ready within a few hours.
The interactive floor plan feature automatically generates a layout from your panoramas, giving buyers a bird's-eye view of the property. Buyers can click from room to room, zoom into details, and get a genuine sense of the space and flow of the home.
The biggest advantage is that Zillow 3D Home is completely free and the tours are featured on the largest real estate marketplace in the US. The quality is not quite as impressive as Matterport's full 3D scans, but for most residential listings, it provides enough visual information to attract serious buyers and reduce unnecessary showings.
