Listing Songs: 18 Songs for Just Listed, Just Sold and New Home Reels

A listing song is the song you put on a real estate post: "just listed", "just sold" or a buyer getting the keys. The best ones say the moment in their title or chorus, so viewers get the joke or the feeling before the first shot ends. Here are 18, sorted by moment.

Before you pick: a business account often can't use popular songs. Instagram's music library is for personal, non-commercial use and is limited on some business accounts, and TikTok asks business posts to use its Commercial Music Library. Each group below also has a free track in the same mood, built into Listing Reel Maker and mixed into the reel itself. More on the rules in the best songs for real estate reels.

Just listed: new on the market

Bright and hopeful. The home is the news.

1. "Brand New" by Ben Rector
2. "Good Life" by OneRepublic
3. "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors
4. "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons
5. "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves

Just sold: celebrate

Loud, fun and a little bit of a victory lap.

6. "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" by John Michael Montgomery
7. "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang
8. "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas
9. "Happy" by Pharrell Williams
10. "Movin' On Up" by Ja'Net DuBois (the theme from The Jeffersons)

Keys in hand: a new home

Warm and a bit emotional. This is the buyer's moment, so the reel is about them.

11. "Home" by Phillip Phillips
12. "This Is Home" by Switchfoot
13. "Welcome Home" by Radical Face
14. "House of Gold" by Twenty One Pilots
15. "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" by Talking Heads

Home sweet home: throwbacks

For a playful post or an older home with character.

17. "Home Sweet Home" by Mötley Crüe
18. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver

How to use a listing song well

• Let the title do the work. For "just sold", put the song's best line on the "SOLD" shot. Viewers connect the two.
• Ask your buyers first. A keys-in-hand reel shows real people. Get their OK before you post, and don't show their faces if they'd rather not.
• Keep the address off a just-listed reel if your seller wants privacy. The city and the price range are often enough to get calls.
• Check the first second. If the song starts slow, start it at the chorus.

Make the reel, then add the song

1. Make the reel in Listing Reel Maker from your listing link or 3 to 15 photos. Pick the music mood from the group above.
2. Post it to Instagram or TikTok. If your account can use the song, add it from the audio picker and turn the original audio down.
3. If your account can't, keep the built-in track: it is already in the reel.

Quick answers

What is a good song for a just-sold post? "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" by John Michael Montgomery says it in the title. "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang is the safe crowd-pleaser.

What song should I use for a new house reel? Something warm about home, like "Home" by Phillip Phillips or "This Is Home" by Switchfoot, or a warm royalty-free track if you post from a business account.

Can I use these songs on a business account? Often not. Use the Meta Sound Collection on Instagram, the Commercial Music Library on TikTok, or a royalty-free track.
