How long will my property be listed for?

For sale listings stay live until you've sold your property or choose to withdraw it: our 'for sale' service is an 'until sold' model with no time limit.

The one thing we ask is that you update your listing at least once every 90 days, so buyers and the portals know it's still genuinely available. Any saved change counts, and so does a quick email to us. See Why we ask you to update your listing every 90 days.

For rental properties, there is a maximum listing period of 6 months (or until leased or withdrawn, whichever is the sooner). Commercial premises, for sale or lease, are advertised for up to 12 months (or until sold or leased, whichever comes first), except on commercialrealestate.com.au, where listings run for 6 months. If you need longer on commercialrealestate.com.au, you can renew for a further 6 months from your account.

We know every market differs, so these limits are generous: on average, our customers sell in less than 3 months and our landlords lease a residential property in just 17 days.
