# Create a listing

> Add a property to Overviu, fill in its basics and publish it on your booking site.

A listing is something guests can book: a house, a villa, an apartment, or a building whose units are let separately. Create one for each property you rent out.

## Before you start

* Decide what you're listing. A house, villa or apartment let as a whole is **A single property**. A building with apartments or rooms let separately is **A building with units**; see [Buildings and units](/listings/buildings-and-units).

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new listing">
    Go to **Listings** and click **Add listing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Say what you're listing">
    Under **What are you listing?**, choose **A single property** or **A building with units**. You can't change this later.

    Fill in:

    * **Public title**: the name guests see on your booking site and booking sites, like "Sea View Villa with Pool".
    * **Nickname** (optional): a short internal name for your team, like "Beach House". Overviu shows it instead of the title in your own lists.
    * **Property type**: apartment, villa, house and so on.

    Click **Create listing**. The listing opens on its **Details** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the basics">
    On **Details** → **Basics**, fill in:

    * **Maximum guests**, **Bedrooms**, **Beds** and **Bathrooms** (tick **Half bath** for a toilet without a shower), and the **Bathroom type**;
    * **Check-in time** and **Check-out time**;
    * **Timezone** and **Currency**: prices and bookings for this listing use this currency;
    * **Registration number**, if your tourism authority gives you one;
    * under **Suitability**: **Children allowed**, **Pets allowed**, **Suitable for events** and **Smoking allowed**.

    Click **Save basics**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add prices">
    Set the nightly prices on the **Pricing** tab and the minimum stay on the **Availability** tab. See [Prices and stay rules](/calendar/prices-and-rules).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish it">
    New listings are **Draft**: only your team sees them. When the listing is ready, go back to **Details** → **Basics**, set **Status** to **Active** and click **Save basics**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Listings have three statuses:

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Draft** | Being set up. Not on your booking site. |
| **Active** | On your booking site and bookable. |
| **Archived** | Kept for your records. Not on your booking site. |

## Your plan's limit

Each plan includes a number of units: a single property is one unit, and a building counts its units (not itself). When the plan is full, Overviu says so when you click **Create listing**, and you can upgrade the plan to add more. There's no limit during the free trial. See [Plan and billing](/account/plan-and-billing).

## What happens next

* Add [photos, amenities and a description](/listings/photos-and-listing-page) so the listing page sells your place.
* Add the [address and map pin](/listings/address-and-map).
* Already on Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo? [Sync the calendars](/calendar/booking-site-calendars) so dates booked there are blocked here.
