A response is one on-platform contact-the-poster message tied to a listing. Rates cover all listings ever published — including posts from before on-site messaging existed — so every rate below is a conservative floor; recent listings do as well or better.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| For sale | 309,943 | 56% | 3 | 69% |
