Takeaways:

  • 11 percent of adults check their smartphones every few minutes.
  • 41 percent of adults check their smartphones a few times an hour.
  • Those numbers are higher for younger demographics.

You’ve heard the term “smartphone addiction,” no doubt, even if it was meant tongue-in-cheek.

A Gallup poll of almost 16,000 smartphone users shows that 11 percent of adults check their phones “every few minutes,” while 41 percent check their devices “a few times an hour.”

[Tweet “11% of adults check their phones every few minutes.”]

[Tweet “41% of adults check their devices a few times an hour.”]

Those numbers were even higher for adults in the 18-29 and 30-49 age ranges.

Moral of the story: If you don’t have a mobile-responsive website — or you haven’t considered advertising on smartphone apps — and you want to target first-time homebuyers in particular, you’ve got some catching up to do!

Make sure you have a presence established where your future clients are spending their time. And for adults 29 and younger, a significant amount of their time is spent on their phones.
