What the numbers mean

Real estate achieves Facebook's cheapest leads at $16.61 CPL with excellent 9.53% CVR—6x cheaper than Google's $100.48. Visual property content and instant form convenience drive exceptional results. The catch: Facebook leads often need significant nurturing since they're earlier in the consideration process than Google searchers. Home buying takes 6-12 months, so expect lower immediate conversion but build long-term pipeline cheaply.

How to act on this

Prioritize Facebook for lead volume at $16.61 CPL—6x cheaper than Google. Use visual property carousels to drive 3.75% CTR. Build 6-12 month nurture sequences for the long consideration cycle. Qualify by timeframe: 'When are you looking to move?' separates ready buyers from dreamers.
