1. Start here

  1. Housing Market Cloud Dashboard Overview — A Quick Tour37 sThe Housing Market Cloud console keeps everything on one page. This tour starts at the organisation header with its plan badge, market and your role, then goes through Your websites (status, address, Edit and Visitors), the form for a new website, Listings, your plan and allowances, Billing with the upgrade table and Manage billing, Offices and Team, and finally Enquiries, where messages from your website arrive. The demo agency Bangkok Prime Realty is on Cloud Pro with one published website.
  2. Housing Market Cloud Website Builder — Overview42 sThis tour explains the Housing Market Cloud website builder. At the top are Save and Publish. On the left, This website holds the theme and language, Getting in touch holds WhatsApp, phone and enquiry options, Languages lets you add translations, Pages lists every page with its title, address and description, and Sections lists the building blocks of the page you are editing — each with Move up, Move down and Remove. On the right, the Preview shows the last saved version exactly as visitors will see it.
  3. Your New Housing Market Cloud Website Opens on a Ready-Made Demo50 sWhen you create a new website in Housing Market Cloud, it no longer opens on an empty screen. It opens on a ready-made demo website, built from the first default design and saved as a draft. Everything on the demo is example content, and nothing is public until you publish. This tutorial creates a website, shows the demo that opens, and shows where to change the words and photos or try another design. The example uses an invented agency.
  4. What Beta, New and Currently Updating Mean in Housing Market Cloud40 sNew parts of Housing Market Cloud carry a small marker so you know what to expect. This tutorial finds a Beta marker and explains all four markers. Beta means the feature is new and works, and we want to hear what you think. New and Updated point out something that was just added or just changed. Currently updating means a part is not ready yet. The Beta, New and Updated markers go away on their own after a while, and nothing is removed when they do.

2. Your account and plan

  1. How to Create a Housing Market Cloud Account59 sThis tutorial opens a Housing Market Cloud account and sets up your agency. From app.housingmarketcloud.com we choose "Create an account", enter an email address and a password, type the code Housing Market sends by email, and arrive in the console. The first thing the console asks for is your organisation — the agency or office your websites belong to — with its name and main market. Every new account starts on the free plan, so you can build and publish a website before deciding whether you need Pro or Business.
  2. How to Sign In to Housing Market Cloud36 sHousing Market Cloud uses your Housing Market account: one email address and password for every Housing Market product. This tutorial signs in on the console at app.housingmarketcloud.com with that account, shows what you see straight after — your organisation, websites, listings, plan and enquiries on one page — and where to reset a forgotten password. There are no separate Google or Facebook buttons; the single sign-on is the shared Housing Market account itself, entered on Cloud’s own form.
  3. How to Reset Your Housing Market Cloud Password42 sThis tutorial resets the password of a Housing Market Cloud account. On the sign-in page we choose "Forgot your password?", enter the account’s email address and request a code. The code arrives by email; together with a new password it resets the account and signs you straight in. Because Cloud uses your Housing Market account, the new password applies to the other Housing Market products you use with the same email as well. The confirmation looks the same whether or not an address has an account.
  4. Housing Market Cloud Plans — Free, Pro and Business Compared36 sHousing Market Cloud has three plans, all priced in US dollars. Free costs nothing: one user, up to 20 published properties, the Classic and Minimal themes and a free housingmarketcloud.com address with the Housing Market bar. Pro costs $49 per month and adds unlimited properties, a custom domain, the full template library including the Modern theme, removal of the Housing Market bar, landing pages and portal sync. Business costs $99 per month and adds unlimited users, offices and team features. This tutorial reads your allowances in the console and compares the upgrades in the Billing table.
  5. How to Upgrade Your Housing Market Cloud Plan42 sUpgrading Housing Market Cloud takes a minute. This tutorial opens Billing in the console, picks Cloud Pro ($49 per month) from the upgrade table and clicks Upgrade. Payment happens on our payment provider's page; when it is complete you return to the console, which confirms that the payment went through. The new plan takes effect as soon as your bank confirms the payment, and features such as a custom domain, unlimited properties and portal sync become available.
  6. How to Update Billing in Housing Market Cloud34 sPaying Housing Market Cloud customers manage their subscription from Billing in the console. This tutorial reads the current subscription status and uses Manage billing, which opens our payment provider's secure billing page. There you change the card you pay with, read and download your invoices, or end your plan. The console never shows or stores your card number. We also show where to move up from Pro to Business in the same section.
  7. How to Switch the Housing Market Cloud Console to Dark Mode47 sThe Housing Market Cloud console can be shown in a light or a dark theme, or can follow your device. This tutorial opens the console, finds the Theme control in the header and switches from light to dark, then scrolls the dashboard to show that the websites, listings, plan and billing sections all follow the dark theme. One more click sets it to follow your device's own setting, and one more returns to light. The choice is remembered in your browser and affects only how the console looks to you: your websites, which have their own theme, are not changed.
  8. How to Update Your Profile in Housing Market Cloud48 sYour profile in Housing Market Cloud holds your name, your telephone number and your language, and it is the same profile you use everywhere at Housing Market. This tutorial opens the console, changes the name and the telephone number on the Your profile card, saves them, and explains what the language setting changes and why the email address is fixed.
  9. Verify Your Email by Link in Housing Market CloudA Housing Market Cloud account has to confirm its email address before you can use it, and it does that with a link, not a code. If you sign in before you have confirmed, the console shows a Check your email page instead of your websites: it says what to do, and has one button, Send me a new verification email. This tutorial presses that button, shows the Wrong address? option for an address typed wrongly at sign-up, opens the email Housing Market Cloud sends and presses its link. After you press Confirm on the page the link opens, the console in your first tab recognises the confirmation by itself, so there is no second sign-in. Nothing in this video asks you to type a code.
  10. How to Create a Housing Market Cloud Account by Email Link1 min 27 sThis tutorial opens a Housing Market Cloud account and sets up your agency. From app.housingmarketcloud.com we choose "Create an account", enter an email address and a password, and open the link Housing Market emails to that address to confirm it. There is no code to type: you press the button in the email and then sign in. The first thing the console asks for is your organisation, the agency or office your websites belong to, with its name and main market. Every new account starts on the free plan, so you can build and publish a website before deciding whether you need Pro or Business.
  11. How to Reset Your Housing Market Cloud Password by Email Link47 sThis tutorial resets the password of a Housing Market Cloud account. On the sign-in page we choose "Forgot your password?", enter the account’s email address and ask for a link. The link arrives by email and opens a page where you choose a new password. There is no code to type. Because Cloud uses your Housing Market account, the new password applies to the other Housing Market products you use with the same email as well. The confirmation looks the same whether or not an address has an account.
  12. Compare Plans and Upgrade in Housing Market Cloud: Upgrading Is Easy43 sHousing Market Cloud now shows the plans side by side on your dashboard, under Upgrading is easy. This tutorial opens the section and reads the comparison table: what each plan includes, such as your own domain name, all designs and templates, listing sync from the portals and leads sent to Housing Market CRM, and which plan is yours. Each higher plan has an Upgrade button: you press it, pay on the next page, and the new plan takes effect as soon as your bank confirms the payment. Only the owner of the organisation can change the plan. The example uses an invented agency on the free plan.
  13. Housing Market Cloud: Open Your Billing Center From the Console32 sHousing Market Cloud now has a Billing button at the top of the console. It opens your billing center, one place where you see your invoices and keep your billing profile, the same place you use for the other Housing Market products. This tutorial opens the console, finds Billing in the header, and explains what it opens and what stays in Cloud, such as your plan. This feature is new: tell us what you think.

3. Create your site

  1. How to Create a Website with Housing Market Cloud36 sThis tutorial creates a new website in Housing Market Cloud. In the console we give the website a name, choose its web address — the part in front of housingmarketcloud.com — and click Create. The builder then opens on the template gallery, where you pick a starting point for your pages. The web address is checked as you create the site: it must be free, use only letters, numbers and hyphens, and cannot start or end with a hyphen. The example creates a website for Bangkok Prime Realty on the free plan.
  2. How to Choose a Website Template in Housing Market Cloud47 sA template gives your new Housing Market Cloud website its pages and sections in one click. This tutorial creates a website and looks at the three templates in the gallery — Estate agency, Independent agent and One property — before choosing Estate agency. The template fills in a home page, an about page and a contact page with sample sections that you then rewrite in the builder. You can also start with a blank page. The look of the site comes from its theme, which you can change at any time without losing content.
  3. How to Archive a Listing in Housing Market Cloud1 min 05 sHousing Market Cloud never deletes anything a customer has built — not a website, and not a listing. The removal verb the console does give you is Archive, and this tutorial uses it on a listing. From the console we open Listings, open a published property, and use Archive in its toolbar; the listing leaves your website and its row comes back marked Archived. Then we open it again and click Restore, which brings it back as a draft with its price, description and photographs exactly as they were, ready to Publish when you want it live again. We also point out what is not on the dashboard: there is no Delete for the website itself.
  4. Write My Website with AI in Housing Market CloudA new Housing Market Cloud website starts empty. Instead of choosing a template you can answer three questions and have a first draft of the whole website written for you, in the language you choose. This tutorial creates a new website, finds Write my website for me, answers what your business is called, where you work and what clients should know about you, picks the language and presses Write the draft. The draft opens in the builder, unsaved, with its pages and sections in place and the copy built from your answers. Nothing is published until you say so, and you can change every word. The draft is written by artificial intelligence, so read it through before you save it.
  5. Try Another Design on Your Housing Market Cloud Demo Website50 sThe demo website that opens when you create a new Housing Market Cloud website is only a starting point. Under Try another design you can start again from a different look: Estate agency, Independent agent, One property, or a blank page. This tutorial creates a website, finds Try another design and shows the choices. Before the console replaces your changes with another design it asks you to confirm. The screens show an invented agency.

4. Edit pages and design

  1. How to Edit Your Homepage in Housing Market Cloud43 sYour homepage is the first thing buyers see. This tutorial edits the homepage of a Housing Market Cloud website: we open the builder, stay on the Home page, rewrite the banner headline and second line, change the banner photograph, and save. The preview then shows the new version exactly as it will appear once published. The same approach works for every section on the page — services, featured properties, testimonials and the call to action.
  2. How to Add a Page to Your Housing Market Cloud Website49 sThis tutorial adds a new page to a Housing Market Cloud website — a "Selling your home" page for owners. In the builder we click Add a page, give it a title, a page address and a short description, add a first section, and save. The new page appears among the page buttons in the builder and in the website’s menu, because the menu is built from your pages. The page address becomes part of the link, for example bangkokprime.housingmarketcloud.com/selling.
  3. How to Add a Section to a Page in Housing Market Cloud46 sSections are the building blocks of every page in Housing Market Cloud. This tutorial adds a Testimonials section to the homepage, writes a heading and a client quote, moves the section up the page, and saves. The builder offers many section types: Banner, Text, Photograph and text, Services, Properties, Testimonials, People, Call to action, Contact details, Market figures, Client reviews, Team and Development. Each one appears in the preview in your website’s theme, so you only write the content.
  4. How to Edit Text and Images in Housing Market Cloud42 sThis tutorial edits the text and photographs of a section in Housing Market Cloud. We change a section heading, rewrite a paragraph and add another, choose a different photograph from the built-in library, and describe what the photograph shows for visitors who use screen readers. Website photographs come from a library of professional real estate images shipped with Cloud; your own photos are added to listings. After saving, the preview shows the result.
  5. How to Choose Your Website Theme in Housing Market Cloud41 sThe look of a Housing Market Cloud website comes from its theme. This tutorial switches a website between the Classic, Modern and Minimal themes in the builder and saves, so the preview shows the same content in a new style. Free plans include Classic and Minimal; Pro and Business add Modern. On Pro and Business the Housing Market bar at the top of published sites is also removed automatically. There are no separate logo, colour or font settings: the theme takes care of typography and colour so every page stays consistent.
  6. How Your Website Menu Works in Housing Market Cloud44 sHousing Market Cloud builds your website’s menu for you from the pages you create — there is no separate menu editor to keep in sync. This tutorial shows the pages that make up the menu, renames a page so its menu entry changes, and sets where a section’s buttons lead: the home page, another page, the listings page or the enquiry page. When your website has listings, a link to them is added to the menu automatically.
  7. How to Set Up Contact Options on Your Housing Market Cloud Website48 sEvery Housing Market Cloud website gives visitors several ways to reach you. This tutorial sets them up in the builder: a Contact details section with your email address and telephone number, and the Getting in touch card with a WhatsApp number, a number to call, an enquiry bar on phones, and a message form offered when a visitor is about to leave. Enquiry forms on listing pages are added automatically. Every enquiry arrives under Enquiries in the console and is emailed to you.
  8. How to Create a Listing Landing Page in Housing Market Cloud32 sA landing page is a single page that promotes one listing — ideal for an ad, a social post or a message to a buyer. With Housing Market Cloud Pro you create one from any published listing in one click. This tutorial opens Listings, clicks Create a landing page next to a villa, and copies the address the console returns, such as bangkokprime.housingmarketcloud.com/lp/pool-villa-in-rawai. The page uses the listing’s photographs and details and includes an enquiry form, and enquiries arrive in the console like any other.
  9. WhatsApp and Enquiry Bar on Your Housing Market Cloud Website44 sHousing Market Cloud has built-in tools that help website visitors get in touch. In the builder’s Getting in touch card you add a WhatsApp number and a number to call, switch on an enquiry bar that stays at the bottom of the screen on phones, and offer a short message form when a visitor is about to leave. This tutorial sets all four and saves. They work on every page of the website, including listing pages, without any extra code.
  10. How to Show Market Figures on Your Housing Market Cloud Website59 sA Market figures section puts search demand for one city on your own website, drawn from Housing Market Insights. This tutorial adds the section to the Bangkok Prime Realty homepage, gives it a heading, names the city, and saves — and the preview shows the table a visitor would get: what people are looking for, how many searches, over what window, collected on what date, from what source. The figures are fetched when the page is shown, so they stay current without anyone editing the page. A city Insights has no figures for renders nothing at all rather than an empty panel.
  11. How to Show Client Reviews on Your Housing Market Cloud Website58 sThe reviews clients already left you on the Housing Market portals can appear on your own website. This tutorial adds a Client reviews section to the Bangkok Prime Realty homepage, writes a heading, chooses how many reviews to show, and saves. The preview then shows the rating, the number of reviews, the verified badges and the reviews themselves, with a link to the full list on the portal profile. Nothing is typed in: the section reads the portal account connected to your organisation, so the reviews on your site are the same ones a buyer would find on the portal.
  12. Development Project Pages in Housing Market Cloud1 min 31 sA new development is not one listing, it is a table of units — and Housing Market Cloud has a section for exactly that. This tutorial adds a page for Riverside Residences, adds a Development section, fills in the developer, the completion and a short summary, and then enters a unit with its type, bedrooms, size, price and availability. Saving shows the project page in the preview: the project facts, how many units are still available, and the unit table. The page is added to the website menu automatically, so it can be shared as a link of its own.

5. Agents, offices and team

  1. Where Your Agents Appear on a Housing Market Cloud Website1 min 00 sAn agency on Housing Market Cloud Business sees its agents in two places, and this tutorial visits both. On the dashboard, the Team card lists everyone in the organisation with their role — Owner, Office manager or Agent — with each name taken from that person’s own Housing Market account. On the website, a Team section draws the same agents as cards with their title and the languages they speak, each linking to that agent’s portal profile. Both are lists rather than editors: they follow your team, so nobody has to keep a page of staff up to date by hand.
  2. How to Add a Team Member in Housing Market Cloud53 sOn the Housing Market Cloud Business plan you can add colleagues to your organisation by email address. This tutorial opens the Team panel in the console, finds Invite by email, types a colleague's address, chooses a role (agent or office manager) and an office, and sends the invitation. It explains what happens next: if the address already has a Housing Market account the person joins your team straight away, and if not they receive an email invitation and join when they create an account with that address. The same message appears either way, so the form never reveals whether an address has an account.
  3. How to Add an Office in Housing Market Cloud43 sThe Housing Market Cloud Business plan lets an agency with more than one branch list its offices in the console. This tutorial opens the Offices panel, which already shows the Sukhumvit and Phuket offices, finds Add an office, types an office name and the email address its enquiries should go to, and adds it. The new office appears in the list straight away and can then be chosen when you invite a colleague to your team.
  4. Accept a Team Invitation in Housing Market CloudWhen an owner or office manager invites you to their Housing Market Cloud team, you receive an email. This tutorial shows what that email says and how to accept: you create a free Housing Market account with the same email address the invitation was sent to, confirm that address with the emailed link (there is no code to type), and sign in. You join the team automatically when you sign in, with the role you were invited as, so there is no separate accept button. The console then shows the organisation you joined and its team, with your name and role in the list. A role above the inviter's own can never be given.

6. Properties

  1. How to Add a Property to Housing Market Cloud1 min 03 sListings are the properties your Housing Market Cloud website shows. This tutorial adds one: from the console we open Listings, click Add a listing, and fill in the title, description, price and currency, size, bedrooms and bathrooms, and the address. After saving, we add photographs and publish the listing so it appears in the Properties sections of your website and on its own listing page. On the Free plan you can publish up to 20 properties; Pro and Business have no limit.
  2. How to Edit a Property in Housing Market Cloud56 sPrices change and photographs improve. This tutorial edits an existing listing in Housing Market Cloud: we open Listings, click Edit on a villa, change its price and description, and save. Then we open its Photographs to reorder them, add a description to a photograph and save again. A published listing is updated on your website as soon as it is saved. We also point out the buttons for taking a listing offline and archiving it when the property is sold or let.
  3. Property Pages on Your Housing Market Cloud Website43 sYour published listings appear on your Housing Market Cloud website in two ways: in Properties sections on any page, and on a listings page with a page of its own for every property. This tutorial adds a Properties section to the homepage, chooses whether it shows homes to buy or to rent, which kind of property, and how many, and saves. The preview then shows the property cards, built from each listing’s cover photograph, price, rooms and size. The listings page is linked from the menu automatically.
  4. Portal Sync in Housing Market Cloud — Import Your Listings43 sPortal sync, part of Housing Market Cloud Pro, brings the listings you already have on the Housing Market portals onto your own website without typing them again. This tutorial connects the Housing Market portal account of Bangkok Prime Realty on thailandhousingmarket.com, runs a sync and reads the results: how many listings were added, updated, left unchanged or withdrawn, and how many could not be imported and why. Synced listings are edited on the portal, not in Cloud, so both always match.
  5. Advertise Your Website from Housing Market Cloud with AdsHousing Market Cloud can start an advertising campaign for one of your published websites without leaving the console. This tutorial opens the Advertise panel on the website's row, where the page to advertise, the campaign name, the headline, the ad text, the daily budget and your search phrases are filled in or waiting for you. It explains what happens next: the campaign is created on your own Housing Market Ads account, Housing Market reviews every campaign before it runs, and the campaign is billed to your Ads account, which needs a payment card. The video stops before Send for review, so nothing is sent and nothing is spent.

7. Publish and domains

  1. How to Publish Your Website in Housing Market Cloud44 sWhen your pages are ready, publishing puts your Housing Market Cloud website online. This tutorial saves the last change in the builder, clicks Publish and reads the confirmation: the website is live and anyone can open it at its address. Back in the console, the website shows the Published badge and its address becomes a link. Later edits stay private in your saved draft until you publish again, so you can work on the site without visitors seeing unfinished pages.
  2. How to Use Your Free Housing Market Cloud Subdomain31 sEvery Housing Market Cloud website gets a free address on housingmarketcloud.com — for example bangkokprime.housingmarketcloud.com — even on the Free plan. This tutorial shows where the address comes from (the web address you choose when creating the website), where to find it in the console once the website is published, and how to open it. On Free, the published site carries a small Housing Market bar at the top; Pro removes the bar and lets you use your own domain as well.
  3. How to Connect a Custom Domain in Housing Market Cloud59 sEvery Housing Market Cloud website answers at a free Cloud address from the day you publish it. On Cloud Pro you can also show it at a domain you own. This tutorial opens the domain panel on your website’s own row in the console, claims the domain, reads out the TXT record that proves the domain is yours, and checks it. It also shows what the console says after a successful check: the claim is accepted, a secure certificate is still being arranged, and your website keeps answering at its Housing Market Cloud address until that is ready.
  4. SEO Settings in Housing Market Cloud — Page Descriptions45 sSearch engines read each page’s title and description. In Housing Market Cloud you set both per page in the builder, together with the page address. This tutorial writes a clear title and description for the homepage and the about page, and explains what Cloud does for you automatically: the page title and description are placed in the page, each page gets a canonical link, and your website’s sitemap is generated and kept up to date. There is no separate SEO screen to manage.
  5. How to Add Another Language to Your Housing Market Cloud Website1 min 04 sA Housing Market Cloud website can be written in more than one language. In the builder’s Languages card you pick a language, and it starts as a copy of your main pages — every page, every section, every address already there, with only the words left to change. This tutorial adds Thai to the Bangkok Prime Realty website, rewrites the homepage title and headline, and saves. It also shows the one thing the builder does not do: the preview is addressed by page, not by language, so it keeps showing your main language while a translation is open. The published site serves each language at its own address and links them together.
  6. Own Domain Status in Housing Market Cloud: What Each Message MeansAfter you claim your own domain in Housing Market Cloud, the console tells you where the claim stands, in plain words. This tutorial opens the Your own domain panel on your website's row, where a claim is already waiting for its DNS record. It checks the record and reads the answer when the record is not found yet, then reads what the console says when the claim has waited for several days, and what it says once the record is accepted and your own address is still being set up. A last check shows the message for when the set-up takes longer than usual. Throughout, your website keeps answering at its Housing Market Cloud address, and nothing is changed by a check that finds nothing.

8. Leads and analytics

  1. How to View Website Leads in Housing Market Cloud36 sEnquiries from your Housing Market Cloud website arrive in the console under Enquiries, and each one is also emailed to you. This tutorial reads the latest enquiries — who wrote, their email and phone, the message and the listing it is about — marks one as contacted after calling back, and adds a note so the next person knows what happened. Statuses are New, Contacted, Closed and Spam, which makes it easy to see at a glance who still needs an answer.
  2. Website Visitor Statistics in Housing Market Cloud31 sHousing Market Cloud counts the visitors to your website for you. This tutorial opens Visitors next to a website in the console and reads the last thirty days: page views, where visitors came from — search engines, the Housing Market portals, social media, direct visits and other sites — your most viewed listings, and how many enquiries and bookings the website produced. It is a quick way to see whether the website is working and which listings deserve attention.
