Methodology

How we calculated CPM.

CPM (cost per mille) is reported as total ad spend divided by total impressions, multiplied by 1,000. Data is aggregated from real estate Facebook and Instagram campaigns running on the Walled Garden ad infrastructure over a trailing 12 months ending June 2026.[1]

All campaigns in the dataset run under Meta's Special Ad Category for Housing, which limits targeting to age 18+, removes ZIP-level radius, and broadens audiences — pressures that structurally elevate CPMs compared to unrestricted verticals.[6] Third-party benchmarks from Statista, WordStream, Hootsuite, and Revealbot were used to validate the national CPM range.[2,3,4,5]
