Real Estate Listing Video Cost in Ontario 2026

“How much is a listing video?” is the first question every agent asks — and most studios make it strangely hard to answer. Here are real 2026 numbers for Ontario, what moves the price up or down, and how to compare quotes fairly.

Typical price ranges

• Essential cinematic video: $649–$1,249 depending on property size. One polished walkthrough video, professionally edited and ready to post.
• Video-only with AI storytelling: $900–$2,200. You supply photos or we film; the result is a story-driven edit with animation and a custom script.
• Full signature package: $1,200–$2,500. Directed filming, AI-enhanced cinematic edit, up to 75 interior and exterior photos, twilight and detail shots.

What actually drives the price

Property size is the biggest factor — a 9,000 sq ft estate simply takes longer to light, film and edit than a condo. Twilight coverage adds a second visit timed to sunset. Drone work, rush delivery and occupied-home logistics all add complexity. What should not drive the price: vague “licensing fees” for footage of your own listing — read the fine print.

Where the money goes

A 90-second video that looks effortless typically hides 6–10 hours of work: pre-production planning, 2–3 hours on site with gimbal and lighting, then editing, colour grading, sound design and platform-specific exports. Cheap videos skip the last three steps, and it shows.

Is it worth it on a commission?

On a $1M GTA listing, a $1,200 video is 0.12% of the sale price. If it produces even one additional competing offer, it has paid for itself many times over. Agents who brand themselves with consistent video also report better listing presentations — sellers choose the agent whose marketing looks like a movie.

How to compare quotes

Ask three questions: What exactly is delivered (formats, lengths, photo counts)? What is the guaranteed turnaround? And are revisions included? If a studio can’t answer all three in writing, keep looking. You can see our full transparent pricing on the packages page and book online with instant confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Why do quotes for the same house vary so much?

Usually scope: photo counts, twilight visits, vertical cuts and revision rounds hide in the fine print. Compare deliverables line by line, not bottom-line prices.

Is there HST on top of these prices?

Yes — like all professional services in Ontario, quoted production prices are typically plus HST. Confirm whether a quote is inclusive before comparing.

Do videographers charge travel fees in the GTA?

Most studios include a service radius and charge modest mileage beyond it. Ask where the radius ends — for us, most of the GTA is included.
