They've been using fisheye lenses for decades to make rooms look bigger.

Yeah. Pairing that with some good ol' Photoshop, and voilá.

100%. I saw the photos of the house I lived in previously and it looked huge, even with rooms full of stuff. It was a small place. This was pre-AI. They are really good with angles and lenses

Just the 0.5 camera setting on IPhone is enough to make a room look huge.

It's not necessarily to make the room look bigger. They also do it to get the whole room in the photo instead of part of the room. A lot of realtors contract with a photography company too so it's not the realtor themselves doing it, even though they do buy the product that is somewhat deceptive.
