Is a 3D tour worth the cost?

For most on-market listings, yes. Buyers can walk every room at any hour, so the ones who book a showing already know the home. A tour also does something you can't do for every buyer yourself. A buyer moving from another time zone can walk the home at 2am. And buyers who were never a fit can drop out before they take up a showing slot. It helps most on larger homes, vacant homes and listings that draw relocating buyers. It helps least on a very small condo.

3D tour or video: which should you buy first?

They do different jobs. A 3D tour is a tool: buyers find their own way, see how rooms connect, and check that rooms are the size the photos suggest. A video shows what it feels like to live there. The strongest listings use both. If you have to start with one, match it to your buyer. Pick the tour for relocation buyers and investors. Pick the video for design-forward and lifestyle listings.
