How fast listings disappear

In Neuchâtel, 3 % of property portal listings disappear in less than 48 hours, while 81 % stay online for more than a week, measured on 01.10.2026 across 182 listings tracked from publication to removal.

Same scope as the lifespan: portal listings whose publication we witnessed and which have since been removed. Below one hundred observations, no share is published.

How these figures are calculated

We track 25 listing sources and review every listing on each cycle. The median rent covers online listings with a published price. Lifespan is measured only on listings we saw appear, from their publication date to their withdrawal: a listing already online when we found it is excluded, because we would know only the end of its run. It covers only listings from property portals: a community listings feed, whose offers last a few hours, would describe the make-up of our sources rather than the market. A metric based on fewer than 20 observations is not published. Listings that vanished during our collection outage in late August 2026 are excluded as well.
