You have a few issues going on with your content. 

You are not using a geo tag in your keyword. Barbara Todaro  is correct. Most of your competitors are using CT after the term. There is a big community in the Houston area called Woodland Hills. You have to be more specific. There is also a Woodland Hill Condo in California. 

You are not even indexed for your post which means your post has not even been visited by Google bots or the bots don't like your post:( . 

Try adding the CT to the end of your term and then ping your post. 

YOu are also linking out of your post, don't do that. In your first paragraph you link to "great schools" - don't do that. 

For conversions, which you need to prepare for now... you need to step up your game. 

Your post is in an old school style. 
The images need to be large now, in the center, and you need to break up your content into very small paragraphs. Make it visually appealing by adding bullets, lists, etc. More space in between your paragraphs. 

Write a similar post on blogger, a free service, or on tumblr or medium and link back to this post on AR. Not to your profile, but to the post. 

The new SEO rules are about semantics. You need to add more related keywords into your content. Using the same keyword prhase "3 more times" does not work anymore. 

It has been only one day since you posted it, patience will also help moving forward;).

Tom.

As Corinne Guest, Managing Broker said times have changed.  You really would have to outspend the agregators to see yourself on Google.  A long tail may get you there if you are consistent.  Wishing you all the best.

Looks like you have some good answers here already, I just keep posting, some find page one others are a little further down.

One thing that really helps though is to share the post with G+ and the other social media sites.  Google seems to notice the extra links out there.

In CA we have a big city called Woodland Hills.  You have a lot of competition for those google results as "Woodland Hills Condo" will populate a ton of pages for Woodland Hills, CA.  I suggest being a bit more specific with your geography.

 I would use a longer tail like Trumball Woodland New Condos for Sale or 3 Bedroom Condos for Sale in Trumball Woodland Community. I would add the location too. Have you shared on Google Plus, other social networks and on your personal website?

 Google is not senstive to AR anymore.  Suggest long tail words or just pay for Adword which is guaranteed. I am not sure Organic is the way to get results.
