Hi Paul, Quality pics of homes are the result of equipment and technique.
You need a wider lens than your 50mm, 24, or even better, 18mm.
You can get more of the room into the field of view, and importantly,
they make rooms look larger.
Take your outside pics in late afternoon/early evening, and turn on the
lights in the rooms that face the camera. Unless you're fortunate
enough to own a shift lens, get well back from the house in as high a position as you can, so that you're not looking up at the house. Standard lenses make vertical lines such as the sides of a house lean in toward
each other. Standing higher minimises this.
Also, the inbuilt flash is not usually powerful enough. Where appropriate,
have lights on, makes the room more inviting. Make sure you set the correct white balance for the type of lights. With wrong WB incandescent
lights make the pic a horrible yellow/orange, and fluorescents make the
pic blue/green. Don't go in close, it shows up any blemishes, such as
carpet stains, worn surfaces, etc. All I could fit in.
