WPResidence Elementor Widgets for Real Estate

Last updated: June 2, 2026

Real estate Elementor widgets are drag-and-drop blocks that connect Elementor’s visual editor to a real estate theme’s property data, so you can lay out listings, search forms, agents, and maps without code. WPResidence’s public widget catalogue groups 113 named widgets into four families: General Site widgets, Single Property widgets, Property Card Variations, and Header and Footer widgets (its ThemeForest listing counts 170+ once every layout sub-variant is tallied separately). The split matters. WPResidence is the data and logic layer (the estate_property custom post type, MLS and IDX feeds, the advanced search engine, agent and agency relationships), while Elementor is the visual canvas that renders all of it. Because WPResidence Studio comes bundled with the real estate WordPress theme, it replicates Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder, letting you build single-property pages, archives, and custom headers with Elementor Free. WPResidence has 32,473 ThemeForest sales and a 4.85/5 rating from 1,600+ reviews, per its ThemeForest listing.

How WPResidence and Elementor Work Together

Elementor is a page builder with no concept of a property, agent, or price filter. WPResidence supplies that layer.

Every listing lives in the estate_property custom post type, storing price, location, beds and baths, gallery IDs, agent relationships, floor plans, and MLS source ID. WPResidence owns all of it, plus the search engine and direct MLS and IDX connectivity (800+ RESO-compliant feeds, US and Canada, per WPResidence’s own comparison data).

Elementor owns the rest: the visual layout, the drag-and-drop interface, and the responsive breakpoints. WPResidence is the data layer.

This is why the real estate Elementor widgets in WPResidence don’t need Elementor Pro’s dynamic tags. The widgets call the theme’s own internal functions (the wpestate_get_property_ family) to pull listing data, so the binding is built in. WPResidence frames it: “WP Residence integrates with Elementor to create custom blocks and templates for real estate websites, offering flexibility and customization.” For the full build, see how to build a real estate website with Elementor.

WPResidence Studio: Build Templates Without Elementor Pro

Before you evaluate any widget, understand WPResidence Studio. It answers the question every buyer asks: do I need Elementor Pro?

Studio is a plugin bundled and versioned with the theme (v5.6.2, May 2026, per the official changelog). It provides a real-estate-specific template system: Single Property Page, Property Archive, Agent, Agency or Developer, Blog Post, and Header or Footer.

Studio covers the same ground as Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder but purpose-built for property sites. Cris Bean explains in the Studio tutorial: “Usually, creating custom templates requires Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder feature, which costs $59 annually per site. WPResidence Studio provides the same functionality through its own template system.”

Studio controls where templates apply: globally (site-wide), conditionally (sales versus rentals), or by category (location or property type). It also unlocks the 44 Single Property widgets, which only work inside a Studio Single Property Page template (they read from the current estate_property post; drop them on a generic page and they render empty). Maintenance note: update WPResidence and companion plugins before Elementor. Studio also includes 40+ Elementor real estate templates to import, so you’re not starting from blank.

The Complete WPResidence Real Estate Elementor Widgets Library

General and Site Widgets: 36 Widgets

Page-builder blocks for any page type. Not tied to a single property post.

• Property Slider V3
• Testimonial Slider

• Content Grid

Properties List with Filters queries only the estate_property post type, so it’s not a generic Elementor filter. Search Form Builder builds multi-criteria search forms bound to WPResidence’s search engine, not WordPress default search. The map widgets render property data on Google Maps with no third-party plugin.

Single Property Widgets: 44 Widgets

These widgets are bound to a single estate_property post’s meta fields. They only work inside a WPResidence Studio Single Property Page template, because they read from the current post context. On a generic page they render empty; the help-doc workflow shows setup. Build a custom property page in Studio and they come alive.

Property Card Variations: 24 Widgets

These 24 widgets build any page displaying multiple properties: archives, search results, homepage grids.

• Property List – Card V1 through V8 (eight static grid variants)
• Property List Slider – Card V1 through V8 (eight carousel variants)
• Property List with Filters V1 through V8 (eight filterable list variants)

All 24 share the same estate_property query; the V1 to V8 numbering is stylistic only. Swap variants to restyle without re-querying. Filters variants add a WPResidence-aware filter bar (property type, city, status, price range, beds and baths), not Elementor’s native Query Loop. Add a listing in WP Admin and every card widget updates. WPResidence also includes a dedicated grid builder via Category Grid Builder.

Header and Footer Widgets: 9 Widgets

Real-estate-specific navigation components a generic Elementor header can’t provide without a data layer underneath.

• Website Logo
• Navigation Menu
• Website Login and User Menu
• Add New Listing Button
• Currency Dropdown
• Measurement Unit Dropdown
• Social Network Icons
• Contact Phone
• Language Dropdown

Currency Dropdown switches between currencies; Measurement Unit Dropdown switches sq ft and sq m; Add New Listing Button opens front-end submission for agents; Language Dropdown supports multilingual sites (WPML or Polylang). All require a Studio Header template.

Build a Property Grid Section, Step by Step

How to build a filterable homepage property grid:

1. Drag the “Property List with Filters V1” widget (or any V1 to V8 variant) into a section.
2. In the settings panel, set property count and pick filter taxonomies (type, city, status). The widget queries estate_property automatically: no WP_Query, no PHP.
3. To restyle without re-querying, swap Card V1 for any V2 to V8 variant. The data stays the same; only the layout changes.
4. Publish. New listings added in WP Admin appear in the grid automatically.

Filters in “Property List with Filters” map to WPResidence’s taxonomy (city, type, status, price range), not WordPress categories, and aren’t Elementor’s native Query Loop.

Build an Advanced-Search Header, Step by Step

Now a search-first hero with a sitewide search form.

1. In WPResidence Studio, create a template, set Template Type: Header, and edit it with Elementor.
2. Drag the “Advanced Search” widget (or “Search Form Builder”) into the hero section.
3. Set which fields appear (property type, location, price range, beds, baths, area) and point the results to the archive page.
4. Assign the header globally via WPResidence Studio. It now serves on every front-end page.

For a map-first hero, swap in “Map with Listings / Contact” for an interactive map with search.

“Search Form Builder” builds multi-criteria search forms bound to WPResidence’s search engine, not WordPress default search. Elementor’s native Search widget can’t replicate this.

Elementor Free vs. Pro for WPResidence Sites

Do you need Elementor Pro? For a real estate site, no. Elementor Free plus WPResidence Studio covers all listing functionality: grids, search, maps, galleries, agent profiles, single-property pages, and headers and footers.

Pro adds value in four cases: Popup Builder for lead capture (Advanced Solo or higher), per-element custom CSS, Form Builder with CRM integrations (HubSpot, Mailchimp, Zapier), and WooCommerce Builder.

The key nuance: Elementor Pro Essential ($59/year, 1 site, 57 Pro widgets) lacks Custom Fields and Post Types support. Per the official Elementor Pro pricing page, CPT dynamic binding requires the Advanced Solo plan ($99/year, 85 Pro widgets), so if you buy Essential expecting dynamic property data, it isn’t available there. As Cris Bean notes, “WPResidence Studio and its widget collection prove that you don’t need expensive subscriptions to create professional real estate websites.” WPResidence’s FAQ adds: “The free Elementor plugin is enough to work with the real estate widgets in the theme. You are not forced into Pro.”

For a deeper comparison of what Pro adds and where the theme covers the gap, see Elementor Pro for real estate.

Limits and Trade-offs

A few limits are worth naming before you commit.

When Studio isn’t the right tool: it replicates Pro’s Theme Builder for real estate template types, but for a non-real-estate site, Pro’s Theme Builder is more general. For some single-property layouts, WPResidence’s native (non-Elementor) property template will be lighter and load faster. If a listing page doesn’t need custom design, the native template is the better call.

Performance: a property page stacking a gallery slider, map, calculator, floor plans, and agent form is heavier than a lean-coded template, since each widget adds CSS and JS. WPResidence runs on Bootstrap 5 and caching helps, but skip widgets you don’t use and watch Core Web Vitals on image-heavy pages. The WPResidence dev guide covers query optimization and script hygiene in detail.

Lock-in: listings live in estate_property and the widgets are theme-specific, so switching themes means remapping data and rebuilding layouts. Weigh that cost before standardizing on any real estate theme.

How WPResidence Compares to Other Elementor Real Estate Themes

ThemeForest lists dozens of Elementor real estate themes; Houzez and WPResidence rank among the top sellers. Per ThemeForest’s category listing, Houzez outsells WPResidence on volume, roughly 56,000 sales to 32,473. WPResidence’s edge is data depth and widget breadth, not raw sales; its 4.85/5 rating from 1,600+ reviews is on its ThemeForest listing.

On widget count: Houzez ships roughly 130+ widgets (General, Header and Footer, Property Detail, Agent Profile, Agency, Blog); WPResidence’s catalogue names 113 (the 170+ figure counts every sub-variant). RealHomes includes “more than seventy pre-built widgets and blocks,” per WPResidence’s comparison article (a first-party source). Estatik is a WordPress.org plugin with a free tier for manual listings, without a dedicated real estate widget library for custom layouts.

WPResidence’s data edge: 800+ RESO-compliant MLS and IDX feeds import listings straight into estate_property, while Houzez and RealHomes typically rely on third-party IDX plugins. For a full breakdown of which themes pair best with the builder, see Elementor real estate themes compatibility.

Key Takeaways

• WPResidence’s catalogue groups 113 named widgets into four families: General Site (36), Single Property (44), Property Card Variations (24), and Header and Footer (9); its ThemeForest listing counts 170+ when sub-variants are tallied.
• Single Property widgets only work inside a WPResidence Studio Single Property Page template; they render empty on a generic Elementor page.
• WPResidence Studio replicates Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder for real estate at no extra cost, using Elementor Free.
• Elementor Pro Essential ($59/year) excludes CPT dynamic tags, which require Advanced Solo ($99/year); WPResidence users need neither.
• WPResidence connects to 800+ RESO-compliant MLS and IDX feeds and stores listings as estate_property posts that every widget queries automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Elementor Pro to use WPResidence widgets?

No. WPResidence Studio works with Elementor Free for every property template: single property pages, archives, headers, and footers. Elementor Pro adds value for popups, CRM-connected forms, and per-element CSS, but it isn’t required for listing or display.

How many Elementor widgets does WPResidence include?

The public catalogue groups 113 named widgets into four families: 36 General Site, 44 Single Property, 24 Property Card Variations, and 9 Header and Footer. WPResidence’s ThemeForest listing counts 170+ once every layout sub-variant is tallied separately. Each widget is listed by name so you can see exactly what ships before you buy.

What is the difference between Single Property widgets and General widgets?

General widgets work on any page (homepages, archives, landing pages) and display property collections or site-wide elements. Single Property widgets are bound to a specific estate_property post’s meta fields and only function inside a WPResidence Studio Single Property Page template; on a generic page, they have no property context and render empty.

Does WPResidence Studio replace Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder?

For real estate sites, yes. WPResidence Studio covers single property pages, archives, agent templates, headers and footers, and category layouts, all editable with Elementor Free. Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder is generic; Studio is purpose-built for real estate, so no Pro subscription is required.
