When setting up your campaign with Housing Market Ads, one of the first decisions you’ll make is whether to use staticor dynamic banners. Both formats have their strengths — but depending on your goals, one may deliver better ROI for your campaign.
Here’s a breakdown of the differences, benefits, and best use cases for each:
What is a Static Banner?
A static banner is a fixed image ad that doesn’t change. It usually includes:
- A high-quality photo or graphic
- Headline or property name
- Price or feature highlights
- Your logo or branding
- A call-to-action (e.g., “View Listing”, “Get More Info”)
What is a Dynamic Banner?
A dynamic banner automatically updates with live content from your property listing or campaign settings. It can show:
- Real-time pricing
- Available units
- “Just Listed” or “Price Reduced” tags
- Rotating photos of a property
- Countdown timers for offers
These banners feel more interactive and current — and often outperform static ads.
When to Use Static Banners
- Best for branding or general awareness
- Ideal when showcasing your agency, contact info, or services
- Great for promoting a single, consistent message
- Easier to design and manage manually
Example Use Case:
An agent promoting their international buyer services across multiple countries.
When to Use Dynamic Banners
✅ Best for promoting multiple listings or projects
✅ Ideal when prices or availability change frequently
✅ Excellent for limited-time offers or urgent promotions
✅ Increases engagement with real-time updates
Example Use Case:
A developer running a pre-sale campaign that updates unit availability and price drops in real time.

Which Should You Choose?
- Choose Static if you want something simple, branded, and focused on awareness.
- Choose Dynamic if you’re actively selling listings, launching a project, or want to drive urgency and action.
Pick the Right Tool for the Job
Both static and dynamic banners have their place in a successful Housing Market Ads campaign. Use static banners for simplicity and brand visibility — and dynamic banners when you want to maximize clicks, showcase real-time offers, and close faster.
