What is hyperlocal marketing?

Hyperlocal real estate expertise is so much more than ‘location, location, location’—it’s about knowing the neighborhood inside and out. [0]

The data is clear: The top two most important factors influencing a home purchase are location and price, according to a survey of 17,466 recent home buyers from 2021-2024. [1]

But modern consumers understand and navigate location at the neighborhood level—not at the city level, nor the zip code level.

When was the last time you heard someone answer ‘I live in 85003, 80022, or 10007’ when asking where they live?

For real estate pros seeking long term success, neighborhood-level data and insights is central to the entire sales cycle, from intro to close and beyond. Enter: hyperlocal.

Why does hyperlocal marketing matter?

The term “hyperlocal” was coined in 1991 by a local television news anchor to refer to specific areas within a city or metro [2] and made its way into real estate lexicon (now a favorite real estate buzzword) in the following years.

Hyperlocal marketing matters because:

1. 1. Consumers—especially urban ones—think, talk, and act at the hyperlocal (neighborhood) level
   2. When choosing an agent, the top 5 most important factors are: Experience, honesty and trustworthiness, knowledge of neighborhood, and is a friend or family member [1]
   3. Consumers expect highly personalized recommendations thanks to personalized digital experiences — think personalized ads on Google, Meta, and Amazon

Without a hyperlocal marketing strategy, agents are at a competitive disadvantage compared to their peers.

They’re missing key opportunities to give consumers what they want, expect, and need.

How can LiveBy empower your hyperlocal marketing?

When LiveBy was founded in 2015, two things were clear:

1. 1. If agents and brokerages wanted to compete with big national platforms, they needed to add neighborhood-level data and insights into their listings and marketing.
   2. Adding neighborhood-level data is really difficult, expensive, and time-intensive to do — much less keep current/accurate.

Since then, our sole focus has been helping real estate pros solve these problems.
