There are around thirty real estate templates across the Framer Marketplace’s Real Estate and Realtor categories. Most differ in styling rather than in what the site can actually do. The comparison below covers ten of them on the features that change how a property site works: how properties are managed, whether there is neighbourhood content, whether visitors can value a home or estimate a mortgage, and whether property pages carry structured data.

Full disclosure: we built Terrace, Oakline and Ambience. They appear under the same criteria as everything else, and Ambience comes out near the bottom on features.

How we compared these

Every feature below was checked in the live preview, not taken from the listing description. That distinction turned out to matter. Hillcrest’s own Marketplace listing does not mention its valuation page, and a published roundup credited it with pages it does not have. Listing copy is marketing, not a spec sheet.

Two templates were removed after checking. Formed sits in the Real Estate category but is an interior design and architecture studio site, with no price, bed or bath data anywhere. Financista is returned by a Marketplace search for “mortgage calculator” but is a finance consulting template without one.

Column definitions

• Pages counts distinct page types, including CMS detail pages.

• CMS means properties are managed as an editable collection.

• Property detail means a dynamic page per property.

• Neighbourhoods describes what kind of area content exists, because this varies more than a yes or no would suggest.

• Home valuation describes the type, since almost every implementation is a contact form rather than a tool.

• Mortgage calculator describes what it actually computes.

• Structured data means JSON-LD on property detail pages, verified by viewing the page source.

The comparison table

Sorted by page count. Structured data was verified on Luxterra, Hillcrest and Finder by viewing the source of a property page and searching for ld+json. None of the three had it.

What the comparison shows

Price does not predict completeness

The two most complete templates in this set are free. Luxterra and Hillcrest ship eleven page types each, with CMS collections for listings, agents and blog posts, plus city pages and a valuation flow respectively.

Haven costs $129 and has five page types. It has no property listing page at all: properties appear only in a carousel on the homepage, so a visitor cannot browse the full portfolio. Real, also $129, is built as a single agent site rather than an agency.

If you are choosing on price alone in this category, you are choosing on the wrong variable.

Only two templates compute a mortgage

Searching the Marketplace for “mortgage calculator” returns three templates. One of them, Financista, is a finance consulting template without one. The remaining two are Finder (free) and Nezhave Land ($18).

The same search returns eleven Marketplace results in total. The other eight are components and plugins, which means a calculator can be added to any template as a standalone element. That is worth knowing, and worth being honest about: a component dropped onto a page is not connected to the template’s CMS or design system. It works, but it looks bolted on, and it will not know anything about the property the visitor is looking at.

The most complete calculator is in the least polished template

Nezhave Land is an $18 site for a single township development in Serpong. Its unit pages use fixed slugs rather than a collection, its privacy policy links back to the homepage, and the visual design is nowhere near luxury positioning.

Its calculator is the best one in this comparison. It takes house type, property price, down payment as both percentage and amount, interest rate, loan period, property tax rate and monthly insurance. It returns total monthly PITI split into principal and interest, property tax and home insurance, plus loan principal, total interest paid, upfront cash required and total cost of loan.

We checked the maths against a worked example. At $220,000 with 12.8% over fifteen years on a $198,000 principal, the $2,479 principal and interest figure is correct, and the $110 monthly tax matches 0.6% annually. The totals reconcile.

It has one flaw. Upfront Cash Required reports $33,000 against a $22,000 down payment. The $11,000 difference is exactly 5% of the property price, an assumed closing cost that is never declared and cannot be adjusted. The visitor sees a number they cannot reproduce.

Finder’s calculator is simpler: property price, down payment with a 20% minimum, and loan term, returning a monthly figure. No tax, no insurance, no PMI.

Valuation exists, but as lead capture

Hillcrest has a dedicated valuation page. The form asks for full name, address, zip code, email and phone, and the copy promises a response within twenty-four hours. The page describes an “instant estimate” step, but that is marketing copy inside the template, not a function. Nothing is calculated on screen.

Luxterra lists valuation as a service, but the button goes to a generic contact page.

The distinction matters more than it sounds. A form collects a lead and sends an email. A tool returns something to the visitor, which is what makes them stay and what makes them come back.

Neighbourhood content means four different things

Luxterra has four dedicated city pages with real descriptive content, driven by a CMS collection. Finder puts area data inside each property page: a map with education, transit, health and shops, plus Walk Score, Transit Score and Bike Score. Royal has a homepage row of five named communities as images, with no links and no pages behind them. Hillcrest, Haven and Real have nothing.

A tick box would have flattened all of these into the same claim.

Nobody ships structured data

We checked property detail pages on Luxterra, Hillcrest and Finder by viewing the page source and searching for ld+json. None of them include it.

Structured data is a block of JSON-LD in the page HTML that tells machines what the page describes: that this is a property listing, that the price is a price, that a number is a bedroom count. Google can use it for rich results. More importantly for anyone thinking about AI search, most AI crawlers read raw HTML and do not execute JavaScript, so structured data in the page source is one of the few things they can rely on.

For property pages, where the entire page is data, its absence is the clearest gap in this category.

The templates

Luxterra

Free, by Bob from Flux

The most complete free template here, and the closest to a full agency site. Eleven page types, CMS collections for listings, agents, cities and blog, and listings filtered by sale or rent. Four city pages carry real content. Valuation is only a link to a contact page. Good fit for an agency with a team to showcase.

Hillcrest

Free, by Sanna Granqvist

Clean, photography-led, black and white. Eleven page types including a services section with dedicated valuation and sell pages. Listings, team and blog run on CMS. No neighbourhood content. Good fit for an agent who wants a valuation lead capture without paying for it.

Finder

Free

Eight page types and by some distance the best property detail page in this set: price, address, beds, baths, square footage, type, year built, price per square foot, lot size, a facts and features block, and neighbourhood scoring. It also has a working mortgage calculator. Good fit for a listings-first site where the property page does the selling.

Royal

Free, by Kanishk Dubey

Seven page types, dark and dramatic, the most popular template in the Real Estate category. Framer uses its cover image for the whole category page. Properties and blog on CMS. The communities section is decorative rather than functional. Good fit if the photography is the product.

Real

$129, by Tymofii Bak

Eight page types, built around a single named agent rather than an agency. Well executed for that specific case. Properties and insights on CMS. No valuation, no calculator, no neighbourhood content.

Haven

$129, by Hamza Ehsan

Five page types with a strong luxury feel. No property listing page: properties live in a homepage carousel, which limits it to a small, curated portfolio. Good fit for a developer with a handful of properties, less so for an agency with a growing list.

Nezhave Land

$18

A single township project site rather than a general purpose template. Six page types, unit pages on fixed slugs. Not designed for luxury positioning. Contains the most complete mortgage calculator in this comparison.

Terrace

Free, by Dovv Studio

Our own. Dark, editorial, zero border radius throughout. Neighbourhoods are implemented four ways: dedicated pages with content, area data on the property page, a homepage directory, and as a filter on the listings. The valuation is multi-step, starting with just an address, then placing the property on a map before collecting the rest. Includes a mortgage calculator and RealEstateListing structured data on property pages.

Oakline

Free, by Dovv Studio

Our own. Nine page types with area data on the property page and a homepage neighbourhood directory. No valuation tool or mortgage calculator, and no structured data. A straightforward listings-first build.

Ambience

Free, by Dovv Studio

Our own, and our first. Nine pages: home, featured properties, past transactions, property details, about, blog, blog details, contact, privacy policy. All CMS driven. No neighbourhood content, no valuation, no calculator, no structured data. Straightforward and quick to set up, which is what it was built for.

How to choose

Start with what your site has to do rather than how it looks, because styling is the one thing you can change in an afternoon.

If you have more than a handful of properties, you need a listing page with filters, which rules out Haven. If you sell as a team, you need agents on CMS, which points to Luxterra. If your local knowledge is the differentiator, you need neighbourhood pages with real content rather than a row of images. If you want sellers as well as buyers, you need a valuation flow. And if you want property pages to be readable by search engines and AI answer engines, you need structured data, which almost nothing in this category ships.
