Domain that ranked 4 has now disappeared from search results
If you do a search for the one block of text that is on your page, in quotes, I get 16 results. (I'm assuming that the text is the mls info?) What is interesting though is that your site is not one of those results, even when I click on "see similar results". My guess is that Google sees that the entire site is a duplication and as such has severely penalized it. Try changing the wording up so that it is original and see what that does. I run a real estate site as well, and for our own listings I will always make a completely original page so that we stand above the crowd full of duplicate mls info. The other thing that I have found is that building one or two links to the page using the address as anchor text is often enough to skyrocket us to the number one position. EDITED to add: I should add that for our sites we do not do individual pages like you have done. The only benefit to this as I see it is to show your client that they have their own website. Rather, what I would do is to create a page on my website such as www.mysite.com/1boydstreetalbertpark and I can redirect 1boydstreetalbertpark.com to that page. This accomplishes a few things: -you have the power and trust of your existing domain to back you up -if potential buyers end up on your site but don't like that property, they may end up looking at your other listings, or your about us page -if links get built to the page then it benefits your domain. For example, we had one client who was so excited to see the fantastic photos of her house on our site that she shared our page with thousands of facebook friends and VOILA, we had a huge influx of visits from potential clients. In this case it wasn't a link, but a facebook share, but it certainly could have been a link.
