KPIs for Real Estate Agencies

These are the KPIs an estate or letting agency tracks across listings, viewings, offers and commission. They show how well leads turn into completed deals.

The KPIs to track

  • Days on market

    The average number of days between listing a property and it going under offer or being let.

  • List-to-sale price ratio

    The final sale price divided by the original asking price.

  • Lead-to-viewing rate

    Enquiries that result in a viewing divided by total enquiries.

  • Viewing-to-offer rate

    Viewings that lead to an offer divided by total viewings.

  • Commission revenue per agent

    Total commission earned divided by the number of agents in the period.

  • Fall-through rate

    Sales agreed that did not complete divided by sales agreed.

  • Lead Conversion Rate

    Lead conversion rate is the share of leads that become customers or qualified opportunities within a defined window.

  • Cost per Lead (CPL)

    Cost per lead is the average marketing spend needed to generate one lead.

Where the data usually lives

A property CRM, portal enquiry reports, a viewing diary and the accounts system.

Measurement mistakes to avoid

  • Relisted properties reset days on market; track from the first listing date.
  • Agreed sales are not completed sales; revenue only exists on completion.
  • Enquiries from several portals can be the same person; deduplicate before counting leads.

Questions to ask your data

You can type these as plain questions. SchemaChat turns each one into SQL against your connected database or uploaded file, runs it, and shows the SQL and the figures it used so you can check the answer before you share it. Check that the result matches how your business defines each KPI.

  • What is the average days on market by area?
  • How many enquiries turned into viewings last month?
  • What is commission by agent this quarter?
  • What share of agreed sales fell through?
