Virtual tours have seen a huge surge in use in New Zealand and around the world following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdown restrictions, social distancing guidelines and genuine health concerns around in person human interaction.
Matterport 3D virtual tours are the gold standard for real estate virtual tours and provide the best way for property sellers to show their homes to people who are looking online for property to buy. The Matterport virtual tour includes numerous features which allow buyers to understand a house, the 3D dollhouse view allows buyers to interact with a 3D model of the home which shows the layout of the house and various rooms. Potential buyers can click in any room in the dollhouse view to step inside virtually where they can look and move around as they please. The 3D virtual tour experience is interactive, high resolution, engaging and very immersive. It works seamlessly on mobile phones, tablets and computers. It offers 24/7 access to potential buyers regardless of their physical location, or social distancing guidelines or government lockdown restrictions. Furthermore research studies have shown that property listings which included virtual tours sold for up to 9% more money and faster; selling after up to 15% fewer days on the market.
