Rising popularity of floor plans

A floor plan is a 2D rendering of your property. Capturing the layout of the building, floor, or room. It can include measurements, fixed furniture such as electric appliances, or even built-in storage. They are one of the most desired features on a home listing and have a huge influence in attracting high potential clients.

93% of buyers
are more likely to view a property if they had seen a floor plan before. This makes floor plans a super valuable tool for real estate professionals when it comes to helping sell or rent out a property (Zillow, 2017).

They used to be considered a luxury asset due to the amount of work and costs involved in creating them. Creating a floor plan would involve manual measurements and carefully sketching spaces based on that data. Luckily, those days are over with many floor plan applications now available and ever more popular.

Why you need floor plans, now

Photos, virtual visits, videos and floor plans are all powerful assets that accelerate real estate marketing. This type of rich media contributes to the seamless experience when buying or selling a property. Currently more than half the properties on the market don’t have floor plans, which is why adding a floor plan to your listings bring many advantages.

Increase views on your listing

The more views your listing gets, the more and the better the candidates you’ll be getting. Adding a floor plan to a real estate listing can increase click-throughs from buyers by 52% (rightmove.com).

Stand out from the competition. About half of the properties on the market don’t have a floor plan available. Floor plans are seen as an added value or service you provide as a real estate agent.

Positive reviews

Positive reviews are very important. 90% of home buyers who search online rank floor plans and virtual tours as a ‘very useful’ feature (National association of realtors®). Providing a floor plan improves the experience you offer to your customers and motivates them to leave a positive review of your services.

Last but not least, floor plans give home buyers the confidence to know what they’re walking into. While other visuals convince the heart, floor plans convince the mind.
