In the Australian property market, listings without a floor plan receive up to 30% fewer genuine buyer inquiries. When buyers scroll through Domain or Realestate.com.au (REA), the floor plan is often the second image clicked after the hero facade. Ensuring your drafting meets portal specifications prevents rejections and ensures crystal-clear display on mobile devices.
