Do you know how much time real estate leads are spending on your website? Average dwell time and average session duration are important metrics for assessing the overall effectiveness of your real estate website.

Average dwell time is the average time a visitor spends on a website. Average dwell time is a good indicator of how engaged website visitors are with the website. The longer a visitor spends on a site, the more time they have to read and engage with content on the site.
The average discovery-stage lead spends 6 minutes and 56 seconds on a Zurple site. To calculate this number, the Zurple team added together the total site visit time of all discovery-stage leads captured year to date and divided that time by the number of total discovery-stage leads.
