RealHomes alternative

A RealHomes alternative for property portals, with nothing to host.

RealHomes, by InspiryThemes, is a long-running WordPress real estate theme, actively updated: version 4.5.5 came out on 24 August 2026. Portal owners look elsewhere when many agents and owners list, and WordPress, the theme and its plugins need looking after. Here are the options and what each costs in year one. [1]

  • You need MLS listings through an IDX plugin: Yclas imports Kyero and XML feeds, not MLS.
  • You are one agency that wants its own website inside WordPress, rather than a portal for many agents.
  • You look after WordPress yourself and want a one-time theme price.

Does Yclas import MLS listings?

No. Yclas imports Kyero and XML property feeds and CSV files; MLS and IDX are not supported. If MLS is essential, a WordPress theme with an IDX plugin is the better fit.

Can I move my RealHomes properties to Yclas?

Yes, as a Kyero or XML feed or a CSV file, after a dry run you can check. You can undo the latest import within 7 days.

Can agents and owners pay to list?

Yes. Listing plans and memberships, featured listings and bump to top are paid into your own Stripe, PayPal or other account, and agencies get their own pages.

Do I need WordPress for Yclas?

No. Yclas is hosted: no WordPress, theme or plugins to install, with hosting, updates and backups included.
