The short answer
A small real estate agency website starts at about $1,500. A property listing site with map search, lead capture and CRM routing usually costs $4,000 to $15,000. A full portal with buyer and agent apps, listing feeds and locality pages starts at around $15,000.
Real estate projects range from a simple agency website to a full property portal with apps for buyers and agents. The price follows the number of listings, how they get onto the site, and what happens to an enquiry after it arrives.
We built a map-driven listing platform for PropNest India, so the ranges below come from real delivery work.
Real estate website and app cost by project size
| Size | Typical cost (USD) | What you get | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | From $1,500 | Agency website with featured projects, enquiry forms, WhatsApp and click-to-call | 2-4 weeks |
| Standard | $4,000 - $15,000 | Listing site with map and radius search, filters, locality pages, lead capture and CRM routing | 6-12 weeks |
| Full platform | From $15,000 | Portal with buyer and tenant apps, agent tools, listing feeds, site-visit booking and analytics | 12-20 weeks |
What drives the cost
- How listings get in
- Typing listings into an admin panel is cheapest. Importing from your CRM, a portal feed or MLS/IDX takes more work and depends on the feed.
- Search
- Simple filters are quick. Map and radius search over thousands of listings needs indexed location data so results load in milliseconds.
- Lead handling
- Routing each enquiry to the right agent with its source, plus follow-up reminders, is where most of the business value is, and it adds some scope.
- Apps
- Buyer apps with saved searches and alerts, or agent apps for site visits, add iOS and Android work on top of the website.
- Locality and project pages
- Pages for every area and project rank well in local search. They cost more to plan and write, but they keep bringing in visitors.

How long it takes
- 1.Discovery (1-2 weeks, paid): listings, feeds, lead flow and agents, ending in a written brief and a fixed quote.
- 2.Design (1-3 weeks): search, listing and enquiry screens as a clickable prototype.
- 3.Build (2-12 weeks): weekly sprints with a live demo every Friday.
- 4.Launch and support: go-live, redirects from your old site, and 30 days of support.
How to keep the cost down
- Start with your own listings in an admin panel and add feeds later.
- Launch the website first and add buyer apps once traffic grows.
- Write locality pages for your top areas first, not every area at once.
- Use your existing CRM for follow-ups if it has an API, instead of building one.
