Posting a listing
How often can I repost or bump my listing?
Updated By the Housing Rocket moderators
Short answer
Check the group rules first, since many set a limit, often around once a week. Between reposts, bump the listing by commenting on it with a real update, such as a price change or new photos, which moves it up for members sorting by recent activity. Deleting and reposting daily usually gets posts declined as duplicates.
In groups where posts are reviewed, a new post goes back into the review queue. Deleting a live post to post it again can leave you with nothing visible for a while, so updating the existing post is usually faster.
Bumps that actually help:
- "Price lowered to $875."
- "Now available from Aug 15."
- New photos or a video walkthrough.
- An answer to a common question, such as parking or the lease end date.
- "Still available, viewings Saturday 11 to 2."
A string of plain "bump" comments does little and can annoy members. If a listing has been up for a couple of weeks with few replies, rewriting it with a clearer first line, better photos and a sharper price will do more than any number of bumps.
