July 2025 - July 2026
Detailed observation of presented data
Real Estate CPMs in the aggregated “All countries available” sample ran noticeably above the global baseline for much of the 13‑month window, with pronounced month-to-month swings and a very sharp January 2026 spike. 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 June 2025 → June 2026, Real Estate cost per thousand impressions (CPM) averaged roughly $30.14, starting at $16.41 in June 2025 and finishing at $38.72 in June 2026 — a net increase of about +136% from the first to the last month. The high point was January 2026 at $47.80, the low was June 2025 at $16.41, and the overall range was roughly $31.38. Typical month-to-month moves were large: average absolute monthly change was about $8.4, and the standard deviation across the series was about $7.7. Those numbers show meaningful volatility relative to the series mean.
Notable moves include a steady lift from July → August 2025 (+9.0) into an early‑autumn plateau, a sustained elevation through October–December 2025 (Oct $30.46 → Nov $35.60 → Dec $32.71), a dramatic spike to $47.80 in January 2026, and a quick retrenchment to $25.82 in February 2026. The series then recovered into spring with another rise in April and a second high in June 2026.
Seasonally, Q4 (October–December 2025) showed above‑average CPMs for Real Estate, with November and December both sitting well above the mid‑year baseline. Q1 displayed a volatile rhythm: January’s outsized peak was followed by a steep decline in February and relative stabilization in March. Spring months (April–June 2026) mixed recovery and episodic spikes — April ($33.28) and June ($38.72) were notably elevated compared with late‑summer 2025 and early 2026 troughs. The cadence suggests concentrated competition or budget shifts in certain months, producing large upward lifts and rapid declines rather than a smooth seasonal curve.
Compared with the global benchmark, Real Estate CPMs were materially higher on average. The baseline CPM across the same months averaged about $20.75, meaning Real Estate’s $30.14 average was roughly +45% above the global benchmark. Month‑by‑month, the gap fluctuated: the Real Estate series started below global in June 2025 (about −13%), then trended above the baseline for most of the year. The narrowest gap above the benchmark occurred in March 2026 (+≈8%), while the widest divergence was January 2026 (+≈154%). Volatility was also distinct: the Real Estate series’ standard deviation (~$7.7) was roughly four times the baseline volatility (~$1.9), indicating a much choppier CPM profile for Real Estate compared with the aggregated 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.
