Can AI-edited photos alter permanent home features legally?

AI-edited photos cannot legally alter permanent home features like walls, windows, or room sizes in real estate listings. Doing so violates MLS rules and risks accusations of false advertising. Buyers expect these features to reflect reality. AI edits should only enhance lighting, brightness, or minor cosmetic improvements without changing structural or dimensional elements. Honest marketing requires disclosing any digital alterations and pairing staged photos with originals to keep trust intact while showcasing a home’s best qualities.
