Version updated 27 August 2026 with WordPress 7.0 support.
Best for: an estate agency or property portal that needs listings, agents and search handled properly rather than faked with a generic theme
The Houzez real estate WordPress theme has sold 57,184 copies at a 4.84 rating, which makes it the best-selling real estate theme on ThemeForest by a wide margin. favethemes updated it on 27 August 2026 with WordPress 7.0 support.
170+ Elementor widgets built only for property sites
To begin with, this is the difference between Houzez and a multipurpose theme with a listings plugin bolted on. favethemes ships more than 170 drag-and-drop Elementor widgets designed for real estate: property cards, agent boxes, mortgage calculators, floor plans, comparison tables and more. Consequently, a listings page is assembled rather than coded, and it looks like a property site instead of a blog with photos.
A closer look at the Houzez demo
The search builder is the standout feature
Meanwhile, search is where most property sites fall apart, and Houzez treats it as a first-class design problem. The search builder is an Elementor widget that lets you compose your own search panel – tabs, fields, placement and styling included. Moreover, the search itself supports radius and geolocation lookups, multi-select filters, custom fields, price sliders, AJAX results, sticky positioning, saved searches and email alerts.
Half-map results, the layout buyers expect
Furthermore, the results page offers both a standard listing grid and a half-map layout – listings on one side, an interactive map on the other. In short, that is the pattern every major portal uses, and having it built in saves the awkward compromise most business themes force.
Built for agencies, not just single agents
Notably, Houzez covers the parts that only matter once more than one person uses the site. Agents and agencies get their own profiles, there is a front-end dashboard so agents manage their own listings without a WordPress login, and user approval plus verification systems keep the listings clean. Additionally, the listing meta composer and property detail page builder let you define exactly which fields appear where.
What you pay for it
However, $89 is the highest price in this bestseller group, and Elementor is effectively required rather than optional. For a single agent with a handful of listings, a simpler theme will get you live faster and cheaper. The value appears at agency scale, where saved searches, email alerts and agent dashboards start doing real work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 57,184 sales at a 4.84 rating it outsells every other real estate theme on ThemeForest, and has done for years.
Does Houzez need Elementor Pro?
Houzez lists both Elementor and Elementor Pro as compatible. The 170+ property widgets come from the theme itself, but Elementor is effectively required – this is not a Gutenberg theme.
Can agents manage their own listings in Houzez?
Yes. There is a front-end dashboard so agents add and edit listings without a WordPress admin login, plus user approval and verification systems for portals with many contributors.
Does Houzez support map search?
Yes. It offers a half-map results page with listings alongside an interactive map, plus radius search and geolocation in the search builder.
Why does Houzez cost $89?

Is Houzez compatible with WordPress 7?
Yes. The 27 August 2026 release lists WordPress 7.0.x support, along with 6.9 and 6.8.
