Openhouse is easily the most powerful Real Estate theme on Themeforest. It features an extremely powerful and flexible search, where one can search by location, number of baths, beds, maximum price, min price, and property type. This template also includes an extremely powerful Loan calculator which may be shown or hidden on the theme options page. The color scheme choice is unlimited. Simply supply a color, and the whole site changes, including all gradients and effects.
Note: This theme now comes bundled with a alternate version that uses the dsIDXpress plugin.
Additionally, it includes a very powerful and useful Loan Calculator. It even has a link to generate a complete amortization table which you can print out.
Other than property listing-type posts, this theme supports any other type of posts. You can have both a regular Blog, and a news Blog. Each one can have unlimited subcategories.
Your blog and page content can visually be taken to the next level using our custom Shortcode tags. For example, easily add multi-column text, toggle boxes, drop caps, button links, and more efficiently.

I like that this theme can be used for non-real estate. My sister sells race cars and parts. I am recommending she check this out!
A good looking theme with too many great features to comment on. For the wordpress beginner, you have no idea how cool now having to be bothered with custom fields is. The loan calculator is an added touch.
I love the loan calculator is included. I’m thinking of using this theme for a home builder to showcase his homes.
