| What | Price |
|---|
| Real estate app, iOS and Android | From $42,000 |
|---|
| Real estate web app with listings | From $18,500 |

| Property management portal with rent payments | From $35,500 |

With two or three kinds of users (buyers, agents and admins), 6 to 15 screens and one or two data feeds, the app runs $42,000 to $84,000. Each lead goes to the agent who should follow up.
How much does a real estate website with listings cost?
A real estate web app with searchable listings, saved homes and lead capture starts from $18,500.
A web app works on every device without an app store. Starting on the web and adding the iOS and Android app later spreads the cost.
How much does property management software cost to build?
A property management portal where owners, tenants and managers log in, with online rent payments, starts from $35,500.
Each role gets its own view: tenants pay rent and send requests, owners follow their properties, and managers run it all in one place. Subscription tools charge every month, usually per unit, so a custom portal pays off when you manage many units or need workflows the tools lack.
How much does MLS or CRM integration add?
One or two data feeds, such as MLS listings or your CRM, add $3,000; three or more add $9,000.
MLS data usually comes through an IDX or RESO Web API feed licensed by your MLS. License and feed fees are paid to the MLS or the feed provider, not to us.
Real estate app features and what they add
The starting price covers listings, map search, saved homes and lead capture. These are the additions that move it:
- A listing feed or CRM connection: one or two systems add $3,000, three or more add $9,000.
- Rent or deposit payments: payments add $3,000.
- More kinds of users, such as owners, tenants, agents and admins: two or three multiply the price by 1.3, four or more by 1.6.
- More screens: 6 to 15 multiply the base price by 1.5, 16 or more by 2.2.
How to lower the cost of a real estate app
- Start on the web from $18,500 instead of iOS and Android from $42,000.
- Or launch on one mobile platform: a single-platform listings app with two or three kinds of users, 6 to 15 screens and one data feed starts from $12,000.
- Start with one listing feed and add CRM or showing-tool connections later.
- Launch for buyers first and add owner and admin views in a later release.
What to have ready before you ask for a quote
- Who uses the app: buyers, renters, agents, owners, admins.
- Where listings come from: your MLS, your own database, or both.
- The CRM or showing tools leads should go to.
- Web, iOS, Android, or a mix.
- Whether you collect rent, deposits or fees in the app.
Listing data and MLS rules
Listings shown through an MLS feed come with display rules, such as naming the listing brokerage and keeping the data current. The build follows your MLS's rules, and your MLS approves the feed before launch.
Listings you own, such as rentals or new developments you manage, can live in your own database and need no feed at all. That is the cheapest way to start.
How we price real estate apps
Each project type has a starting price. Two or three kinds of users multiply it by 1.3, four or more by 1.6. A first version with 6 to 15 screens multiplies it by 1.5, and 16 or more screens by 2.2. Connecting one or two systems adds $3,000, three or more adds $9,000. Payments add $3,000, moving data from an old system adds $4,000, and regulated data such as HIPAA adds 20%. The top of the range is twice the bottom.
