Real estate photography in Vancouver can cost less than a single price reduction, but the invoice still needs to make sense for the property and the launch plan. In 2026, the useful question is not only “what does a photographer charge?” It is which deliverables help buyers understand this listing, and what does each service cost?
Coastal Photo pricing starts at $195 for listing photography on homes up to 1,999 square feet. The final amount changes with home size and the media selected. This guide breaks down the current starting points for photos, plans, 3D tours, Drone Photography, and video, so you can compare services before booking.
Short answer: Vancouver listing photography starts at $195. Each service is priced separately by home size. Check the rates page for the current price of each service.
What changes the cost?
Most real estate photography pricing comes down to four decisions: the home's size, the type of property, the deliverables, and the time needed on site. A clean condo with one level takes a different approach from a detached home with a basement suite, lane access, and a large yard.
- Home size: services use six size bands, from up to 1,999 square feet through 6,000+ square feet.
- Coverage: a larger home needs more rooms, levels, transitions, and exterior context shown clearly.
- Deliverables: a floor plan, 3D Interactive Tour, Drone Photography, or video adds another way for buyers to understand the listing.
- Access and conditions: occupied homes, strata access, weather, elevators, or multiple structures can affect planning.

Which services fit the property?
- Small condo: Photo for a clean gallery, or Plan if the den, balcony, or room flow needs context.
- Townhome: Plan for level changes. Add a 3D Interactive Tour or aerial coverage when the home needs more context.
- Detached home: Photo or Plan for a focused launch. Add Drone Photography when the lot, views, or outdoor areas matter.
- View or luxury listing: Select services that show the location, flow, and movement clearly.
- Development listing: choose the floor plan format and media that help buyers compare units and understand the site.
What a Vancouver photographer should include
Price is only useful when you know what arrives. Before comparing two quotes, check whether the selected services include the number of photos, editing, MLS-ready exports, full-resolution files, floor plan format, hosted tour link, aerial deliverables, video cuts, delivery timing, travel, and tax.
Coastal Photo uses fixed pricing by home size and delivers listing photos the next morning. Travel is included for round trips up to 40 km; longer trips are priced by distance and driving time. Video deliverables have their own timing because editing takes longer than the photo gallery.

Check availability →How to keep the budget useful
Start with the buyer's uncertainty. A compact condo may get more value from a 2D Floor Plan than from a generic aerial. A multi-level home may need a 3D Interactive Tour. A large lot may need Drone Photography. A listing launch built around social and open-house promotion may justify video.
One visit can cover the full media set. That keeps the property ready once, keeps the gallery consistent, and avoids coordinating separate vendors for each deliverable. Choose services that make the listing easier to understand, rather than selecting deliverables by quantity.
