Before the invention of drones, aerial photography was done using a helicopter. The trouble with using an aircraft to film a property from the sky, was the fact that it was extremely expensive. Since the cost was so high, aerial photography was usually reserved for high end properties that had a large marketing budget. But with the invention of drones, this has more than levelled the playing field. Aerial photography that once cost thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars can now be captured for a mere fraction of the cost it once was.
Aerial photos of a property start from as little as fifty dollars these days, and the benefits are vast. first off, this opened up an entirely new market for all home sellers. A drone is able to fly over the home and surroundings giving you an amazing perspective of the surrounding areas that ground photographs simply cannot capture. Aerial photography can show you the proximity of the surrounding homes, as well as the surrounding locations. For example, a drone can show you how close a home is to parks, schools, public transportation and much more. Something that was previously done by looking at a grainy satellite photos, which were normally out of date. Aerial photography can now show you detailed images of an entire neighbourhood.
