Both, so people can see "before" and "after".

Some fake things I do like. But of course I am from LA. LOL! I think if not overdone and represented properly, a rendering can help someone envision what the finished product will look like. No harm.

Hi Mike - I'd go with the rendering first - lovely, by the way, and then the construction photo - it shows you're serious :)

We have numerous builders in my area, building anything from single family dwellings to townhomes to highrise condo complexes to commercial and industrial facilities.
In all cases that I have seen, they use rendered drawings of the finished product with disclaimers. Very often, there is not even a photo of a building under construction available since construction often has not started.

I think the rendering would be my choice, with a disclaimer. Many people need to see what they are getting. A picture while under construction may give them an idea of where you are in the building process!

I agree that you should show both Mike Rock - I would show the 'fake' rendering as my first picture, though it's also great to see the 'under construction' home, too. It's absolutely gorgeous, and the pool really adds to the style, because you can access it from any side of the house (or so it appears). I do not like 'fake' people - life is too short to be 'fake' if you have substance. Let people like/love you for you . . .

I prefer the rendering and think most buyers would too. But be sure to note it is a conception.

The answer may lie in how you will market this. A house under construction or the finished product. Both have good, strong ad & marketing points

Good question, for me it depends on how you want to brand yourself and how a postioning statement could be incorporated.

Your virtual projection looks great. I think, it is beneficial to demonstrate the final product. But I would not set it as a lead picture. I had such situations with the houses, people are very confused what you explain them that it is just a project.

Some fake is OK as long as you know that's the case! I have no issues with artist or architectural renderings as long as it's clear that's what it is

I would lead with the rendering because it's so eye catching but also use the construction photo - maybe with appropriate labels or disclaimers just to make it clear.

The second one. It's hard for many to imagine the finished product. But I don't see how the second is a rendering of the first. The roof lines and shape seem off. Are these are different angles?

In any non mls marketing I would lead with the first, the real one, and put on it...
from this... and then on the rendering
to this
and of course, note that it is a rendering.

I live in the land of "fake things" in Los Angeles (adjacent). I like the rendering, so long as it's listed as such, since that is what I'm ultimately buying. The current photo is a pile of sticks that I can't wrap my head around to know the final product.

Bottom pic is my preference - however, it better look like that when it's done LOL

Depending how you label it, I would use the rendering, and I would use a no-nonsense label like Under construction now, right in the picture, to avoid anyone misunderstanding for any amount of time. You might add a caption underneath that includes Finishes and pool are optional...unless your list price includes that pool.
And like many others here, I would show (and update every so often) what it looks like right now...and give them an option to click on that shows the history of the construction photos. Very interested buyers will want to see this, and you can keep it as a demonstration of your workmanship for future homes.

Often the rendering is no where near the final elevation of the home, so we all must be careful with these. We provide in the MLS what we are given by the architects

I like both. Sometimes it's hard to imagine what the plan is when just looking at a framed-out house.

I like the idea of using both... but they should be mirror images of each other. Your under construction looks nothing like the rendering. And if the under construction will not have a pool, I'd take it out of the rendering. Otherwise people think the pool comes with.

Rendering is fine but, a watermark with that stated on it "Rendering only" is what is a fair representation of your new construction.

The rendering is nice, but still no sexy people by the pool, and perhaps a little too green for California.
