I use Google Sites (i.e.: sites.google.com/site/EXAMPLE/ ) as a convenient way to maintain up-to-date info on several residential properties, info that's often requested by my property agents, its been around for about 1 year, but I still can never get it to appear in organic Google search results or Bing, even if I search the specific keywords such as the street names.
I submitted the URL manually to search engines, knowing that my Sites page probably has very few incoming links.
Is this expected behavior?
The content of my page has simple formatted text, and outgoing links to Picasa/G+/imgur photo albums.
Am I doing something wrong or do all GoogleSites pages have poor organic search rank?
Thank you very much.

If you google "sites.google.com", then it lists plenty of sites hosted there.
However, as it is not using sub-domains to create the URLs, search engines will most likely see each site as simply a sub-page of the single massive sites.google.com website (with 53,900,000 results in the listings), rather than a website of its own (with a dozen or so pages). This isn't going to really give it great SEO unless you have lots of good links pointing to it.
Google sites can show and rank in search engines like any other, example search result below.
