Between the opportunities for authentic video, crazy filters, targeted geofilters — and now Snap Maps — Snapchat is where it’s at, just ask any millennial (or anyone trying to market to millennials).
But the platform has grown beyond that niche usage among the most obvious demographic. Indeed, there are 3 billion snaps sent every day. In North America alone, 60 million people use the app.
Half of Snapchat’s new daily users in the U.S. are 25 and older, according to the company’s S-1 filing. Users 25 and older use Snapchat 12 times a day for a total of 20 minutes, and users under 25 are visiting Snapchat 20 times a day and spending over a half hour on the app daily. Imagine all that reach to future homebuyers and sellers; it’s no wonder real estate has gravitated toward the platform.
