Why isn’t my listing getting views?
If your listing is live but barely getting views, saves, or inquiries, this usually isn’t “bad luck” or “a slow market.”
It’s almost always a visibility or presentation problem.
1. Your Photos Aren’t Stopping the Scroll
Most buyers decide in 2–3 seconds whether to click a listing.
If the first photo doesn’t grab attention, the rest doesn’t matter.
Common photo problems:
Dark or yellow lighting
Crooked vertical lines
Poor composition
Phone-quality images
Too few photos
Professional real estate photography increases:
Click-through rate
Time spent on the listing
Perceived property value
If your photos look average, your listing gets treated as average.
2. Your First Image Is the Wrong One
Platforms show only ONE photo first.
If that photo is:
A bathroom
A dark exterior
A cluttered room
You already lost the viewer.
Your first image should be:
The brightest, widest, cleanest space
Usually the living room or best exterior angle
First photo = first impression = views.
3. Your Listing Description Is Generic
Buyers don’t connect with listings that sound like copy-paste templates.
❌ “Beautiful home with great potential”
❌ “Don’t miss this opportunity”
These say nothing.
Good descriptions:
Highlight lifestyle
Explain value
Answer buyer questions
Use clear, searchable language
Search engines and platforms read your text. If it’s weak, your visibility drops.
4. Your Listing Is Poorly Optimized on the Platform
Most agents upload listings and stop there.
But platforms rank listings based on:
Photo quality
Number of images
Engagement (clicks, saves, shares)
Completeness of information
Low engagement = less exposure.
If your listing isn’t optimized, it won’t be shown—even if the price is good.
5. The Price and Visuals Don’t Match
This one hurts, but it’s real.
If you price high and show average visuals, buyers scroll past.
High prices require high-level presentation.
Luxury buyers expect:
Magazine-quality photos
Perfect lighting
Clean styling
Strong visual storytelling
Mismatch = no views.
6. You’re Relying on One Platform Only
If your listing lives only on:
One portal
One MLS
One Instagram post
You’re limiting reach.
Strong listings are supported by:
Social media exposure
Website presence
SEO-friendly pages
Reposts and highlights
Visibility is built, not hoped for.
