According to the 2014 Survey of California Home Buyers:
- More than 77% of home buyers used social media in their home search
Buyers said they primarily used social media to obtain buying tips and suggestions from:
- Friends (44%)
- Neighborhood information (44%)
- View their agents’ Facebook pages (42%).
- 91% of California home buyers said they used a mobile device to access the Internet during the course of their home purchase.
- Buyers also used their mobile devices to look for comparable home prices (78%)
- Search for homes (45%)
- Take photos of neighborhoods, homes, and amenities (43%).
Conversely, with the increased use of social media, fewer buyers “Googled” their agent (50% in 2014, down from 68% in 2013), turning to agents’ Facebook pages instead.
