Is Homegate down right now?
Fresh Homegate down reports usually point to one part of the service, like search, alerts or the app itself. The Homegate status on this page shows whether those reports climb for everyone at the same time.
Most days the portal answers in a second, even with long photo galleries. Trouble tends to show up as blank result pages or an app that stops at the logo screen. A real Homegate outage hits the website and the app together, across many networks at once.
Is Homegate down for me or everyone?
Open Homegate on a second device, or ask someone in another town to load a listing for you. If their page opens while yours stays blank, the fault sits with your connection, your app copy or your account. If both sides fail in the same way, the problem is wider and waiting is the honest answer.
What can you do with a Homegate search subscription?
A search subscription stores your filters, like three rooms in Bern under a set rent, and watches the portal for you. New homes that fit land in your inbox and arrive as push messages on your phone. You can keep several subscriptions running side by side for different towns.
Every subscription can be edited, paused or deleted from your account at any time. Changing the rent or the room count restarts the matching, so older hits drop out of fresh alerts.
Can you search Homegate by map instead of a list?
The map view plots each listing as a pin on the area you choose. You can drag the view to a lake shore or a station quarter and search only there. Zooming in loads more pins, and tapping one opens a small card with price and rooms.
Does Homegate show homes that are already taken?
Taken homes leave the active results as soon as the advertiser marks them rented or sold. A saved favourite can still open with a note that the home is gone, which confuses many searchers.
Can you view a home remotely through Homegate?
Listings with a remote viewing badge let you walk through the rooms in a guided video session with the advertiser. You book the time slot from the listing page and join from your phone or computer.
Common Homegate Problems and Fixes
When Homegate misbehaves, the cause is often one stuck part, like alerts, the map or your saved account data. These fixes target the faults searchers report most on this portal.
Search alerts from Homegate never arrive
Check that the subscription is switched on and that its filters are not set so tight that nothing can match them. Look in the spam folder for the alert mails and allow push messages for this app in your phone settings.
The Homegate app closes right after opening
Force the app shut, then open your phone settings and clear the stored cache for Homegate before starting it once more. An update from the app store fixes most crash loops after a system change.
Sign-in to Homegate keeps failing
Type the password by hand once, since saved passwords often keep an old version after a change. The reset link in the sign-in box sends a fresh password mail within minutes. If the website accepts the new password but the app does not, remove the app and install it clean.
The Homegate map stays empty
Zoom out one level, because a tight map window over a rural area can hold no active listings at all. Clear any drawn search shape, since a leftover shape hides everything outside it.
Listing photos on Homegate do not load
Reload the listing on a steady Wi-Fi connection, because large galleries stall on weak mobile signals. Updating the app brings back photo sets that older versions skip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Homegate down right now?
Homegate is working normally at the moment, and searches answer quickly. If your screen stays blank, the reports on this page show whether other searchers hit the same wall.
Why do my Homegate alerts arrive late?
Alert mails go out in rounds, so a new home can sit a while before its mail leaves. Push messages also depend on your phone settings, and battery saving often holds them back.
How do I save a search on Homegate?
Run the search with your filters, then tap the save option above the results and give it a name.
Does the Homegate app show the same homes as the website?
Yes, both pull from the same pool of listings, and your favourites follow your account between phone and computer.
What do I do when a Homegate listing will not open?
Go back to the results and open the home again, since single listings fail more often than the whole portal. If the page reports the home as gone, the advertiser already let or sold it.
Can I use Homegate without an account?
Browsing and searching work without any account at all. Favourites, search subscriptions and messages to advertisers need a free account so the portal can store your choices.
