What makes a real estate Instagram caption work in 2026

  • Open with a hook in the first line — Instagram cuts after ~125 characters.
  • One CTA per post. "DM," "comment X," or "link in bio" — pick one.
  • Specific over clever. "[X] min walk to [name]" beats "great location."
  • 5–10 hashtags, mostly local. National hashtags rarely convert.
