Hi All,

8 percent of all homes sold in the US in 2018 had a Matterport 3D Tour, according to this Matterport job posting (5 April 2019).

Since this stat is based on homes sold, I wonder what the stat was for homes listed (which is suspect is much less).

Perhaps homes with Matterport 3D Tours are more likely to sell?

Best,

Dan

It would be great if Matterport would do a much better job of equipping us with such stats. Instead, we are left to fend for ourselves to come up with stats that they should be providing.

I calculate stats in our local South Florida markets monthly directly from MLS and sales reporting data... We are considered a "hot" real estate market and we are nowhere near 8%... heck, we aren't even near 1%.

For January:
Percentage of homes sold with Matterport: 0.0%
Percentage of new listings with Matterport: 0.003%
Percentage of homes sold with professional photos: 67.2%
Percentage of new listings with professional photos: 25.8%

For February:
Percentage of homes sold with Matterport: 0.0001%
Percentage of new listings with Matterport: 0.003%
Percentage of homes sold with professional photos: 87.7%
Percentage of new listings with professional photos: 38.1%

For March:
Percentage of homes sold with Matterport: 0.0002%
Percentage of new listings with Matterport: 0.004%
Percentage of homes sold with professional photos: 81.4%
Percentage of new listings with professional photos: 38.2%

If our data is indicative of other markets, which I predict it is probably better actually, then I would have to say that I think the 8% rate quoted by Matterport lacks "truthiness."

Just had one of my listings go under contract to an out of town buyer who has never been in the home. I shoot my own 3D tours with a Pro 2 Lite and my MLS pics from the snapshots. The agent did a face time in the home with his clients just prior to writing the offer. My advantage in being an agent with a Matterport is I don't have to pay a photographer to shoot it. This is a great marketing angle though.

- I tried the same approach for the first couple months of last year with similar results in Vegas.

Conclusion: to sell a home you need no 3D or virtual tour at all. I can 120% confirm this for germany and especially cities like Berlin or Munich.

Also I could confirm that e.g. on germany´s largest portals the number of all virtual tours or single 360 pix is far below 1% all together. MP tours on it´s own - irrelevant.

Therefore I assume strongly, that @immersivespaces numbers are more correct than Matterports.

Hi All,

In this Matterport job posting, the percentage says 4.5 percent.

Dream Job at Matterport/#1

I would save the stat got revised down, BUT, in this Matterport job posting on the same day - Thursday, 18 April 2019, the stat is 8 percent.

Dream Job at Matterport/#2

Which is it?

Dan
