What is "outright prohibited" depends entirely on jurisdiction (except maybe humans, pretty sure selling humans is banned everywhere). Person-to-person firearm sales aren't allowed on Facebook Marketplace[0] even though they are legal in much of the United States. I'm not sure why this is, but a few options come to mind... 1) it's hard to ensure that it's done legally, so Facebook doesn't even try; 2) they (the people who set policy) have some moral compunction that tells them not to; 3) firearm sales are had PR.
Their lack of action here doesn't tell me that they're in the right. It tells me that they 1) don't think this is a big enough problem to jeopardize revenue by restricting or increasing moderation for real estate listings and/or 2) they don't think they'll be held accountable, by the law or by consumers.
