How to Close / Hide / Delete a Listing
How to close, hide, or delete a listing on Homeday for those who have already sold or rented out their property, want to pause a listing temporarily, or no longer want the listing to appear on the website.
Quick Overview
- If you have already posted a listing on Homeday and want to stop displaying it, for example because you have sold the property, rented it out, want to pause the listing temporarily, or no longer want it to appear on the website, you can manage the listing from your account Dashboard.
- In general, closing, hiding, or deleting a listing is used when you no longer want the listing information shown to searchers, but each option has a slightly different meaning. For example, hiding a listing can be used to pause it temporarily, while deleting a listing is usually used when you want to remove it from your account entirely.
This article walks you through how to close, hide, or delete a listing on Homeday in a simple, easy-to-follow way. It is ideal for property owners, agents, or any user who wants to manage their own listings after posting them.
How to Close, Hide, or Delete a Listing on Homeday
Step 1: Sign In and go to the “My Listings” menu
Start by going to the Homeday website and clicking “Sign In”, then log in with the account you used to post the listing, such as Google, Facebook, phone number, or Email.
Once you have signed in, go to the Dashboard and select the “My Listings” menu. On this page, you will see the listings you have created and can choose the one you want to close, hide, or delete.
Step 2: Select the listing you want to manage
On the “My Listings” page, look for the listing you want to close, hide, or delete. It will be located at the icon shown in the image.
Make sure you have selected the correct listing, especially if you have several listings, such as a house for sale, a condo for sale, or multiple rental properties at the same time.
Then click the button or menu related to managing the listing, such as “Edit”, “Draft”, or “Cancel Listing”, depending on the options the system displays.
Step 3: Choose to close, hide, or delete the listing, then confirm
After selecting the listing, choose the action that fits your situation. If the property has already been sold or rented out, you can choose to close the listing or update its status as supported by the system.
- If you want to pause the listing temporarily or hide it, choose “Draft” so the listing is not shown to searchers.
- If you no longer want to keep the listing, choose “Delete Listing” according to the options the system displays.
Before confirming, read the system's warning message carefully, especially when deleting a listing, because some systems may not be able to restore the original data once it has been deleted.
Once you have confirmed, you can check the status in the “Listing Status” menu or go back to review the list in the “My Listings” menu.
What is the difference between closing, hiding, and deleting a listing?
Before managing a listing, you should understand the difference between each option so you can choose the one that best fits your situation.
Closing a listing is suitable when the property has already been sold, rented out, or when you no longer want to receive additional inquiries from that listing. The data may still be kept in your account for future reference or further management, depending on what the system supports.
Hiding a listing is suitable when you want to pause it temporarily, for example to adjust the information, change photos, wait to update the price, or when you are not yet ready to receive inquiries during that period. If you want to use it again, you may be able to re-publish the listing depending on the system's options.
Deleting a listing is suitable when you no longer want to keep it. Use this option with caution, because once you confirm the deletion, the original data, photos, or details may not be recoverable.
If you are not sure which option to use, we recommend closing or hiding the listing first instead of deleting it right away, to prevent accidental data loss.
What should you check before closing, hiding, or deleting a listing?
Before taking action on a listing, we recommend checking the following details first.
- Have you selected the correct listing?
- Has the property really been sold or rented out?
- Do you still want to keep the listing information for future reference?
- Are there any Leads or interested parties you still need to follow up with?
- Are you currently boosting the listing or using credits on it?
- Do you only want to pause the listing temporarily, or do you no longer need it at all?
- Have you fully read the system's warning message before confirming?
Especially when a listing still has interested parties reaching out, you should handle the Leads or communicate with the interested parties before closing or deleting the listing, so you do not miss important opportunities.
What can you do after closing, hiding, or deleting a listing?
After you have finished managing the listing, you can come back and check its status from the Dashboard.
The related menus include:
- My Listings, to view the listings still in your account.
- Listing Status, to check whether a listing is still published or has been closed.
- Listing Statistics, to view the results of past listings if the system still displays the data.
- Boost Listing, to manage other listings you want to increase visibility for.
- Credits & Packages, to check the credits or packages that are relevant.
If you still have other properties you want to sell or rent out, you can go back to the “My Listings” menu and add a new listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sign in to Homeday and go to the “My Listings” menu, select the listing you want to close, then choose the option to close the listing or manage its status as displayed by the system, and confirm.
Hiding a listing is usually used to pause it temporarily so it is not shown to searchers, while deleting a listing removes it from your account or the system according to the conditions the system supports, and the original data may not be recoverable.
You should close the listing or update its status so that new interested parties do not contact you thinking the property is still available.
It depends on the system's conditions. If the system indicates that deletion cannot be undone, make sure you are certain before confirming, or choose to hide the listing instead if you are not yet sure.
Check the status again in the “Listing Status” menu. If the listing still appears or the status has not changed, we recommend reporting the problem or contacting the Homeday team to have it checked.
We recommend closing or updating the listing status every time, so the information on the website stays current and to reduce contact from new interested parties who may think the property is still for sale or rent.
You should clearly check the property name, photos, price, and location before closing, hiding, or deleting a listing, to avoid managing the wrong one.
