3D Renderings: Cost Breakdown and Real Estate ROI Explained
Let’s be honest — most developers and agents want to know two things about 3D renderings:
“How much do they cost?” and “Are they worth it?”
The answer to both depends on how you’re using them — but for most real estate pros, the return on investment is hard to ignore.
In this post, we’ll break down pricing, what’s included, and how renderings pay you back in both speed and sales.
What Do 3D Renderings Cost?
At Stridis Renderings, pricing can range from $1000 to over $25000 depending on things like project complexity, number of views, and level of detail — from materials and lighting to landscaping and staging.
Need a full visual package? 3D animations and multiple angles for interiors and exteriors are available too — and they're ideal for developers with multi-unit projects or commercial builds.
What’s Included in the Price?
You’re not just paying for an image. You’re investing in a full set of marketing-ready visuals that can include:
Custom lighting and angles
Material and texture matching
Furniture and staging
Landscape or aerial context
Flexible revisions
Usage rights across platforms (web, print, listings, decks)
And with our fast, reliable 7-day turnaround, you’ll have what you need when you need it. Learn more about our team on the About page.
How 3D Renderings Deliver ROI
Here’s where the real value of renderings shows up:
1. Faster Sales
Homes and units with professional visuals sell faster. Plain and simple.
2. Higher Buyer Confidence
When buyers or investors can see the property clearly — even pre-construction — they’re more likely to commit and feel good about their decision.
3. Stronger First Impressions
In competitive markets, design sells. Renderings instantly communicate quality and professionalism across all platforms.
4. Long-Term Marketing Value
That one rendering? It can be used on your website, MLS listing, sales brochure, development deck, signage, and social media. That’s a lot of mileage from a single asset.
Real-Life Example
Let’s say you spend $2,500 on a rendering package for a $2.5M property.
If that helps it sell three weeks faster — or increases your offer price by even 1–2% — the investment pays for itself multiple times over.
Scale that across an entire development or lease-up campaign, and you’re looking at significant savings and speed-to-market advantages.
