Use this article to create and refine a listing search with filters on the Search page.
Start a new search on the Search page
Click Start New in the upper right of the Search page to start a new search. Coming soon and Active are selected under Status & Activity by default, so your search includes listings in both statuses.
If you have a Template Search, Start New applies its saved filters, columns, and sort order instead. Create a Template Search explains how to set one up.
You do not need to name a search until you save it. Manage Your Saved Searches explains how to reopen, rename, and update your searches.
Filter by beds, baths, price, and more with the Quick Filters
The Quick Filters appear across the upper left of the Search page: Property Type, Price, Beds, Baths, Sqft, and Year Built. After you set a Quick Filter, the button shows your selection, such as 3+, and an x to clear the filter.
Filter Your Search by Property Type and Subtype explains how to filter by Property Type and subtype.
Set the minimum bedrooms and bathrooms with Beds and Baths
Set the minimum number of bedrooms and bathrooms with the Beds and Baths Quick Filters. A number with a plus sign, such as 3+, includes listings with that number or more.
Baths has two tabs:
Total: Filters by the total number of bathrooms.
Type: Filters by full and half bathrooms separately.
Baths opens on Type for a new search. When you reopen a saved search, Baths opens on the tab stored with it.
Steps:
Click Beds or Baths
For Baths, click Total or Type
Select a number
Your search results update to show listings with at least that number of bedrooms or bathrooms. To clear the filter, click the selected number again or click the circular arrows icon.
Match an exact number of bedrooms or bathrooms
Match an exact number of bedrooms or bathrooms, rather than a minimum, with Exact match in the Beds or Baths Quick Filter. The options change from 3+ to 3.
Steps:
Click Beds or Baths
Select Exact match
Select one or more numbers
Your search results update to show listings with the exact numbers you selected. For example, select 2 and 3 under Beds to show listings with two or three bedrooms. To remove one number, click it again. To clear them all, click the circular arrows icon.
Set a price, square footage, or year built range
Set a range for Price, Sqft, or Year Built with the From and To fields in each Quick Filter.
Steps:
Click Price, Sqft, or Year Built
Enter the lowest value in the From field
Enter the highest value in the To field
Your search results update to show listings within the range. To clear both fields, click the circular arrows icon next to the To field.
Tip: In the Price fields, enter k for thousand or m for million, such as 450k or 2m. Both uppercase and lowercase letters work.
Find more filters on the Filters tab
Find filters beyond the Quick Filters on the Filters tab of the Search page. Filters are grouped into panels such as Location, Status & Activity, and Property Details.
Steps:
Click Filters in the upper right
Enter a filter name or value in the Search filters and values field, such as Waterfront
Set the filter's values
Your search results update to match the filter, and the filter appears under Applied Filters at the top of the Filters tab.
Filter Your Search by Status and Price Changes explains how to search by listing status or activity within a timeframe. Filter Your Search by Keyword covers finding words or phrases in listing descriptions and addresses.
Include or exclude filter values with Or, And, or Not
Select Or, And, or Not from the dropdown next to a filter to control how its selected values apply:
Or: Shows listings that match at least one selected value.
And: Shows listings that match every selected value.
Not: Excludes listings that match any selected value.
Or is selected by default. For example, select two cities under City and keep Or to find listings in either city.
Or, And, and Not apply only to values within the same filter. When you set multiple filters on the Filters tab, a listing must match each one to appear in your results.
Members who came from a legacy platform may know a single Features field that matched any selected feature. In Perchwell, each feature category, such as Lot Description, has its own filter and its own dropdown.
Draw an area on the search map
Draw an area on the search map to filter listings by location. Filter Your Search with Map Tools explains the radius, commute, polygon, and freehand tools.
Sort your search results by up to three columns
Sort your search results by any column in List or Expanded view on the Results tab. To sort by a field that is not displayed, add it as a column first. This includes one you have already set as a filter. Customize Your Search Results View explains how to add and reorder columns.
Click a column header, such as Price, to sort in ascending order. Click it again for descending order, or a third time to remove the sort. To add a second or third sort, click another column header.
A green numbered badge shows each column's place in the sort order, with an up arrow for ascending or a down arrow for descending. The sort order is saved with the search when you click Save.
Change the priority of sorted columns
The most recently clicked column takes priority as sort 1, and the other sorted columns move down in order. For example, if you sort by Price and then Bedrooms, listings are sorted by bedrooms first and then by price within each bedroom group.
Search results sort by up to three columns at once. Clicking a fourth column removes sort 3.
