July 2025 - July 2026
Detailed observation of presented data
Real Estate CPMs in the selected dataset ran consistently above the global benchmark for most of the 13-month window, but the market showed dramatic momentum swings — a midwinter peak followed by a steep summer collapse. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Real Estate in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.
Across July 2025 → July 2026, Real Estate cost per thousand impressions (CPM) averaged about $28.66, versus a baseline global CPM of roughly $20.58 — approximately a 39% premium. The series started at $22.72 (July 2025) and finished at $10.32 (July 2026), a full-year decline of about 55%. The high-water mark was January 2026 at $47.84 CPM, more than double the global January baseline ($18.81) and the largest month-over-month lift in the set. The low came in July 2026 at $10.32, a sharp drop from June’s $27.92 (a ~63% month-to-month decline).
Monthly extremes: several large spikes occurred — August 2025 ($31.56), October ($30.54), November ($35.90), December ($32.67) and the January peak — while troughs beyond the July 2026 low were limited to early- and mid-spring dips near $23–$27. Over the year the Real Estate series displayed heavy swings: average month-to-month absolute movement was about $8.24, far larger than the baseline’s average change of about $1.92.
There’s a clear seasonal rhythm punctuated by outsized volatility. Late summer and autumn months showed recurring lifts (Aug–Nov 2025 and Oct–Dec 2025), culminating in an outsized January 2026 surge. After January, the series cooled into late winter and spring ($23–$30 range) before the abrupt collapse in July 2026. The baseline exhibited milder seasonality (a modest November peak near $24.26 and a quieter spring rise) versus the jagged pattern for Real Estate.
Relative to the global benchmark, Real Estate CPMs tracked above baseline for 12 of 13 months — ranging from roughly +7% (March 2026) to an extreme +154% (January 2026). At their narrowest gap, Real Estate was about 7% above global CPMs in March; at the widest, it sat roughly 154% higher in January. The final month reversed that relationship: July 2026 shows Real Estate ~37% below the global baseline as the category dropped to its annual low. Overall, Real Estate was more volatile and carried a higher average CPM than the global market.

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs
Cost Per Mille (CPM) is the cost advertisers pay for 1,000 impressions of their Facebook ad. In the Real Estate industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. Geographic targeting affects ad costs based on market competition and user engagement in different regions. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.
We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.
Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

All data is sourced from over $3B in Facebook ad spend, collected across thousands of ad accounts that use Superads daily to analyze and improve their campaigns. Every data point is fully anonymized and aggregated—no individual advertiser is ever exposed.
This dataset updates frequently as new ad data flows in. It will only get bigger and better.
CPMs are heavily influenced by competition, seasonality (e.g., Q4 costs more), audience size, and ad quality. Smaller audiences and lower relevance scores often lead to higher CPMs.
Different campaign objectives, bidding strategies, and even time of day can change your CPM. For example, conversion campaigns usually have higher CPMs than traffic ones. Also, broad targeting tends to drive lower CPMs.
In most industries, CPMs range from $5 to $18 depending on the region and objective. Retail and e-comm campaigns often sit at the higher end. Our live data above shows a breakdown by country and industry.
Both matter, but audience quality (intent + match with your offer) usually has more impact than pure size. However, extremely tight audiences often lead to expensive CPMs due to limited delivery opportunities.
Depends on your goal. For awareness, CPM is more relevant. For performance campaigns, CPC and CPA matter more. But all are connected—inefficient CPMs can inflate your entire funnel.
