This article walks you through how to close a sale and update your listing status on Homeday in an easy-to-follow way, ideal for anyone selling a house, selling a condo, renting out a property, or managing real-estate listings on Homeday.
How to Close a Sale and Update Your Listing Status on Homeday
Step 1: Sign in and go to the “My Listings” menu
Start by visiting the Homeday website and clicking “Sign In”, then log in with the account you used to post the listing, such as Google, Facebook, your phone number, or Email.
Once you have signed in successfully, go to the Dashboard and select the “My Listings” menu. On this page you will see all the listings you have posted and can choose the one whose status you want to update.
Step 2: Select the listing you want to update
On the “My Listings” page, select the listing you want to update, for example one that has already been sold, has been rented out, or that you no longer want to show to searchers.
Be sure you have selected the correct listing, especially if you have multiple listings, such as several houses for sale, several condos for sale, or both for-sale and for-rent listings in the same account.
Then click the button or menu related to managing the listing, such as “Edit”, “Draft”, or “Unpublish Listing”, depending on the options the system displays.
Step 3: Update the status and confirm
After selecting the listing, choose the status that matches the situation of your property, for example:
- Sold
- Rented
- Unpublished
- Temporarily Paused
- Do Not Display Listing
Then review the information once more and click “Save” as shown by the system.
After updating, you can check the status under the “Listing Status” menu to see whether your listing has been updated successfully.
What Should You Check Before Updating Your Listing Status?
Before closing a sale or updating your listing status, we recommend double-checking the details first to avoid updating the wrong listing.
Things you should check include:
- Whether you have selected the correct listing
- Whether the property has truly been sold or rented out
- Whether there are still prospects you need to get back to
- Whether you want to unpublish the listing permanently or pause it temporarily
- Whether the listing is currently being boosted or has credits applied to it
- Whether you want to keep the listing data for future reference
- Whether the new status matches the actual situation
If you still have a Lead or a prospect you are in conversation with, you should contact them or handle the information before updating the status so you do not miss an important opportunity.
When Should You Use Each Listing Status?
Choosing the right listing status helps you manage your listings in a more organized way.
Sold is best for house-for-sale, condo-for-sale, or other real-estate listings that already have a buyer and for which you no longer want to receive inquiries from new prospects.
Rented is best for house or condo for-rent listings that already have a tenant and for which you do not want new people contacting you about that listing.
Unpublished is best when you no longer want the listing to appear to searchers, for example when it has been sold, has been rented out, or you have temporarily stopped selling it.
Temporarily Paused is best when you do not yet want to delete the listing but want to stop showing it for now, for example while waiting to adjust the price, take new photos, or when you are not ready to receive inquiries during that period.
If you are unsure which status to choose, we recommend selecting an option that hides the listing from searchers first, rather than deleting it immediately, to prevent accidental data loss.
What Can You Do After Updating Your Listing Status?
After updating your listing status, you can return to the Dashboard to review the information.
Related menus include:
- My Listings, for viewing the listings you have posted
- Listing Status, for checking the latest status of your listing
- Listing Statistics, for reviewing the past performance of your listing if the system still displays the data
- Boost Listing, for managing other listings you want to give more visibility
- Credits & Packages, for checking the credits or packages involved
If you have other properties you want to sell or rent out, you can go back to the “My Listings” menu and add a new listing.
What Should You Do if People Still Contact You After the Sale Is Closed?
If you have already updated the status but prospects are still contacting you, we recommend checking the listing status again under the “Listing Status” menu.
If the listing is still showing, you may need to manage it further, for example by unpublishing the listing, hiding it, or updating the status correctly once more.
If you have checked but the status still has not changed, or the listing is still displaying abnormally, we recommend reporting the issue or contacting the Homeday team so they can help investigate.
