Mobile Devices Drive Today's Home Buyers Search Efforts

You see smartphone and tablets all around you... from business professionals in airport lounges, to teenagers waiting in lines, and distracted drivers waiting at red lights. People check their phones 150 times per day and mobile device usage has become ingrained in our daily lives, empowering us to get immediate answers, make use of otherwise unproductive time, and to interact and stay connect with others whenever we want through phone calls, video chats, and social media.


And mobile users love their apps. As smartphone and tablet users, we spend 89% of our media time on mobile apps, compared with just 11% browsing mobile websites. For home buyers, apps have become an instrumental medium to interact with consumers. There are many mobile resources available to home buyers for: searching, pricing, and comparing homes. Today's house hunters can integrate their mobile search efforts allowing them to immediately expand their knowledge about which homes are on the market, who the listing agent is as well as local open house locations and times. With a couple of texts or emails between buyers and agents, a real estate deal can and often is originated through a mobile device. 


The top 4 Real Estate websites now report over 50% of their monthly traffic comes directly from mobile devices. If you're considering buying or selling a home there's a very good chance you will utilize your mobile device and one of these real estate apps during your purchase or sale. We recently reviewed the top mobile real estate search apps in an article, What's the Best Mobile Real Estate Search App.
