Best Background Music for Real Estate Videos

A good property video sells the feeling of living somewhere before a buyer ever walks through the door. The footage shows the space, but the music sets the tone: luxurious, warm, modern, calm or exciting. Pick the wrong track and a stunning villa feels cheap, or a cozy apartment feels cold.

Below are seven tracks from our catalog that work especially well for real estate videos, from high-end luxury listings to agent walkthroughs and neighbourhood guides — with notes on which kind of property and video each one suits best.

What makes good real estate video music?

• Match the music to the property. A penthouse, a beach villa, a family home and a city studio each need a different sound. Think about the buyer you’re speaking to: elegant and refined for luxury, warm and relaxed for family homes, modern and urban for city apartments.
• Keep the tempo in step with your camera. Most property videos are built on slow gimbal moves, smooth slider shots and drone flyovers. Tracks between roughly 80 and 115 BPM keep things moving without making the camera feel rushed.
• Polished, not busy. Clean production, smooth grooves and tasteful melodies feel premium. Heavy drops, aggressive drums or very dense arrangements pull attention away from the property.
• Leave room for the agent. If an agent talks to camera or narrates the tour, choose a steady groove without a strong lead melody, and lower the music under speech.

1. Summer Lounge — luxury villas and coastal homes

Summer Lounge is an elegant electronic lounge track built on piano and smooth synths, with a sophisticated, relaxing atmosphere. It feels expensive without being showy — ideal for villas with pools, coastal homes, holiday rentals and resort-style properties where you want viewers to imagine a slower, better life.

→ License Summer Lounge

2. Midnight Lounge — penthouses and city apartments

For urban luxury, Midnight Lounge brings a smooth deep house groove: a warm bassline, steady four-on-the-floor beat and dark, elegant chords. Its nocturnal, sophisticated mood is perfect for penthouses, high-rise apartments with city views and twilight shoots when the lights come on.

Best for: penthouses, luxury city apartments, twilight and night shoots, high-end developments.
→ License Midnight Lounge

3. Sunset Lover — cinematic, lifestyle-led listings

Sunset Lover combines atmospheric synths and emotional melodies with a driving rhythm, creating an uplifting, cinematic feel. Use it when the video sells a lifestyle as much as a house: drone flyovers, golden-hour exteriors, terraces and views.

Best for: drone exteriors, golden-hour shoots, homes with views, lifestyle-focused property films.
→ License Sunset Lover

4. Beyond The Sea — calm, airy and atmospheric

A chill electronic track with a steady groove, airy pads and dreamy synths. Beyond The Sea creates an immersive, ethereal mood that suits open-plan spaces full of natural light, minimalist architecture and properties surrounded by nature — and it sits comfortably under narration.

Best for: minimalist and modern architecture, homes in nature, bright open-plan interiors, calm walkthroughs.
→ License Beyond The Sea

5. Lost In Time — short piano and strings for intros and endings

Not every property video needs a full-length track. Lost In Time is a short, gentle cinematic piece where a delicate piano melody is joined by warm strings. Use it for an emotional opening shot, an agency logo reveal or the final frame with the agent’s contact details — or for short social media clips of a listing.

Best for: video intros and outros, agency brand clips, short Reels and social teasers, emotional “welcome home” moments.
→ License Lost In Time

6. Passing Time — cozy apartments and neighbourhood guides

Passing Time is a jazzy lofi hip hop track with warm piano, soulful sax samples and laid-back drums. It has a cozy, lived-in feel that works beautifully for apartments, period flats and neighbourhood guides — the cafés, streets and parks that make buyers fall in love with an area.

Best for: city apartments and lofts, period properties, neighbourhood and area guides, rental listings.
→ License Passing Time

7. Afternoon Coffee — agent walkthroughs with narration

When the agent is the one talking, you need music that keeps energy up without competing for attention. Afternoon Coffee is a smooth, head-nodding hip hop beat with a catchy piano melody and a steady groove that stays out of the way of the voice — great for agent-led tours, market updates and real estate YouTube channels.

Best for: agent-led walkthroughs, market update videos, real estate YouTube and social content, open house promos.
→ License Afternoon Coffee

Licensing music for real estate videos

Property videos used to market a listing, an agent or an agency are commercial use, so make sure your license covers it. If you’re a videographer producing tours for agents or developers, you’re also doing client work. In both cases, the Professional license is the one to choose; the Individual license is meant for personal and creator content. Compare both on our pricing page, and check the FAQ for how YouTube Content ID works with licensed music.
