Most real estate ad roundups are mockups. These are not: every ad in this collection is a real Meta ad from an agent, brokerage, or developer, pulled from our 350,000-ad library with its engagement score and days running attached. The difference matters because real estate creative that looks good and real estate creative that generates seller leads are usually different ads.
Real estate is a lead-economics vertical: with clicks this expensive, an ad that keeps running is an ad whose cost per lead works. Treat the days-running number as a proxy for funnel math you cannot otherwise see.
Three formats dominate sustained spend: walkthrough video with the agent talking (trust and inventory in one asset), "just sold" proof creative with numbers ("sold 40k over asking in 9 days"), and home-valuation lead magnets for the seller side. Interior photo carousels still work for listings, but the agent-on-camera format is what compounds, because it sells the next listing too.
