While there are thousands of WordPress themes available, no theme will be the right fit for every project. Certain types of websites have very specific needs, and real estate websites are a perfect example.
If you’re building a website for a realtor, a broker, or a directory of listings, you’ll need a theme that has the features and functionality commonly used by websites within the industry. Thankfully, there are some outstanding themes that have been created especially with real estate in mind.
The Best Real Estate Themes
Here are our highest-rated themes for building amazing real estate websites powered by WordPress.
1. WPRealEsate
WPRealEstate was rebranded from Tesla Themes to more accurately emphasize the company’s commitment to the real estate industry. While there are many strong real estate WordPress themes out there, this one stands out as our top choice.
First, it’s critical to point out that WPRealEstate is available as both a theme and a plugin. The plugin allows you to display listings and agents using your existing theme. The WPRealEstate theme provides the same functionality, but also comes with 14 pre-made designs that make it easy to get a beautiful real estate website. You can get either the theme or the plugin, or both.
Key Features:
- Create, manage, and display real estate listings
- Allow visitors to search, browse, and filter the listings
- Create listings manually or automatically through the MLS (beta)
- Create, manage, and display profiles of realtors
- Integrated maps
Regardless of what type of real estate website you’re creating, WPRealEstate can handle it. Since the company is specifically focused on the industry, you can be confident that the theme/plugin will continue to be managed, improved, and supported.
Price: Starting at $99/year for three websites (includes theme and plugin)
2. Divi
Divi, from Elegant Themes, is one of the most popular all-purpose WordPress themes in the world. One of the perks of Divi is that users are able to access hundreds of pre-designed templates that can be used for different purposes. There’s one layout pack that includes seven different page templates for a real estate website (home, about, listings, team, contact, blog, and a landing page).
The property search and filtering options from Divi aren’t as strong as what you’ll find from many of the themes that were created specifically for real estate websites. However, the listings page template makes it quick and easy to set up a page showcasing multiple listings. Divi is a strong option for an individual real estate agent or a small team of agents, but not as ideal for a listings directory or real estate search engine.
Key Features:
- 7 pre-designed page template to create a full real estate website
- Visual drag-and-drop page builder that provides endless customization options
- Already available to anyone with an active Elegant Themes membership
- Use on an unlimited number of websites, including client sites

Price: Starting at $89/year for unlimited websites (use our exclusive Elegant Themes Coupon to get 20% off)
3. Astra
Like Divi, Astra is another popular multi-purpose WordPress theme that includes a pre-made design specifically for the real estate industry. Astra actually offers two different stater templates that would be outstanding options for real estate agents or small teams in the industry.
Astra provides outstanding design customization and flexibility, and it also works well with Elementor for unlimited potential. Also like Divi, Astra lacks some of the advanced searching and filtering capabilities, so it’s not ideal for larger sites with lots of listings. However, it’s an excellent option for smaller sites.
Key Features:
- Very lightweight theme that loads fast and is built for performance
- Multiple starter templates available for businesses in real estate and construction
- All-purpose theme that can be used for all kinds of websites
- Plenty of customization options through the theme customizer, plus the theme works well with Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Brizy

Presence is a multi-purpose theme from WPZOOM that comes with several different pre-designed demos, including one for a real estate website. You can create beautiful listing pages that showcase multiple photos, a map, agency info, and a description of the property.
The theme includes a handy search widget, so your visitors can easily find the listings most likely to interest them. You can also create a page for each agent that includes a photo, bio, links to social profiles, and highlights of current listings.
The search widget makes Presence more suitable for larger sites than Divi or Astra, but it’s still more ideal for individual agents or small teams, as opposed to large listings portals.
Key features:
