What worked
- The post text leads with a clear, concrete number: over 1.16 million homes for sale, the highest inventory since 2019.
- The chart is a simple line showing housing inventory reaching its highest level since 2019, which is easy to grasp at a glance.
- It is branded and includes a source line, and the source has reach in the top quarter, which supports trust and distribution.
What to borrow
We could take a timely market topic, state the headline number plainly in the post text, and use a simple line chart with our own branding and a visible source line.
Careful
Do not over-read the engagement: the quote rate is above average, but there are no comment or points figures, and the account's typical likes and how many times the account is normal are not given, so we cannot judge performance against its own baseline.
