Facebook real estate traffic mostly comes from local buy-and-sell groups and Marketplace, not your own page followers. That means your post needs to hold its own with more detail than Instagram, since group members expect real information before commenting.
Tips for a Facebook listing that performs
Include more concrete detail than you would on Instagram — square footage, room count, key features — since Facebook audiences expect substance, not just a hook.
Write in a conversational, first-person tone; overly polished ad copy tends to get skipped in community groups.
Ask a soft question at the end (“Who's ready to make this home theirs?”) — questions noticeably increase comments, which pushes the post further in the group's feed.
Mention the neighborhood by name, not just the city — Facebook group members are hyper-local and searching for their specific area.
