Applications per Listing
What is it?
Applications per Listing indicates the average number of applications each rental property receives when posted on a marketplace. This metric serves as an indicator of demand for rental properties and helps assess the attractiveness of listings to potential tenants, as well as providing an overview of market conditions.
A high number of applications per listing suggests that the property is popular and that market demand is strong. Conversely, a low number of applications can indicate difficulties in attracting tenants or a generally sluggish market.
How is it calculated?
Number of applications / Number of advertisements = applications/advertisement
* Only includes ads that have received an application during the specified period.

Why is it important to follow?
Tracking the "Applications per Listing" metric is important for several reasons:
Market Analysis: Provides insights into market demand and helps understand tenant interest in different properties. This information is valuable for adjusting marketing strategies and identifying trends.
Identifying Hard-to-Rent Properties: By monitoring this KPI, organizations can quickly pinpoint properties that struggle to attract applications. This may lead to actions such as adjusting rental prices, refining marketing strategies, or enhancing property appeal.
Efficient Resource Allocation: Understanding the demand for rental properties aids in prioritizing resources and actions. Properties receiving fewer applications may require additional efforts, while popular properties can be marketed more efficiently.
Risk Management: The KPI can be used to anticipate potential leasing issues and prepare strategies to address these risks. By monitoring and analyzing applications, proactive measures can be taken to minimize vacancy rates.
Decision-Making: It serves as a valuable tool for making informed decisions about how listings are presented, where they are advertised, and what improvements can be made to attract more tenants.
In summary, "Applications per Listing" helps measure the attractiveness of rental properties and the state of the market, aiding in better strategic decisions and effective property portfolio management.
