Price
Tiered listing packages
Tiered listing packages — base, featured, and premium — scale visibility and placement across search results and feeds, with premium often priced up to 3x base rates to secure top placement. Higher tiers include larger media, priority ranking, and audience boosts that drive disproportionate impressions. Add-ons like video and 3D tours further increase engagement and lead quality. Transparent inclusions let agents choose by objective ROI metrics.
Subscriptions for agencies and developers
Monthly or annual plans bundle listings, branding and workflow tools, driving ARPU while annual plans typically boost retention; SaaS peers report renewal rates of 80%+ for bundled offerings. Volume and multi-office discounts (commonly tiered) encourage consolidation and lower per-unit cost. Contract terms are structured around typical 3–12 month agency sales cycles and budgeting periods. Usage analytics inform right-sizing at renewal by highlighting active seats and feature adoption.
Performance-based advertising
Performance-based advertising uses CPM, CPC and cost-per-lead options to match campaign goals: average global CPCs in 2024 ranged from about 0.50 USD on social to ~2.00 USD on search, while display CPMs averaged near 4.00 USD, and B2B CPLs clustered around 60 USD. Dynamic pricing adjusts bids for audience quality and seasonality, raising CPMs for high-intent segments during peak periods. Caps and pacing enforce daily spend limits and smooth delivery to protect budgets while maximizing reach. Attribution models shift spend toward channels showing the highest ROI based on conversion paths and incrementality tests.
Bundled solutions and promotions
Bundled packs combine ads, data and creative services at discounted rates to increase seller adoption; introductory offers reduce onboarding friction for new clients and boost trial-to-paid conversion. Seasonal promotions align with Australia’s spring listing peak (Sept–Nov) to capture higher inventory, while cross-sell incentives link mortgage and insurance referrals to marketplace activity to lift lifetime value.
- Bundles: ad+data+creative discounts
- Intro offers: lower onboarding barriers
- Seasonal: target Sept–Nov listing peak
- Cross-sell: finance tied to marketplace LTV
Market- and geo-based pricing
Rates vary by suburb demand, property type and local competition, with 2024 market trends showing premium inventory in high-demand areas consistently attracting higher fees and faster sell-through. Flexible pricing structures support developers across project phases—landbank, pre-sale and final release—while regular price reviews align listings with macro shifts and competitor moves to protect yield.

- Premium inventory = higher fees
- Flexible developer pricing by phase
- Quarterly reviews vs macro and competitors
