How to Archive a Listing in Housing Market Cloud

Tutorial 20 of 51 · 1 min 05 s

Housing 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.

In this tutorial you will learn

Why nothing in Housing Market Cloud is deleted
Where Archive is on a listing
What archiving does to your website
How to restore an archived listing
Why a restored listing comes back as a draft

Follow along: the steps

Open your Housing Market Cloud console.
There is no Delete here — not for a website, not for a listing.
Under Listings, click Photographs to open your listings.
This condo is sold, so it should come off the website.
Click Edit on the listing.
In the toolbar, click Archive.
It leaves your website — but nothing is deleted.
Go Back to your listings.
Its row now reads Archived.
Open it again with Edit.
Changed your mind? Click Restore.
Price, description and photographs come back exactly as they were.
It returns as a draft, so click Publish to go live.
Your website itself cannot be removed here — ask support.
