Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Note
CoStar Group’s third-quarter performance is likely to have suffered from a challenging environment in both commercial and residential real estate. Supply has been outweighing demand, which does not bode well for its top-line growth.
Higher interest rates have been dampening consumer confidence, which, along with lower occupancy, is expected to hurt CoStar Group’s results in the to-be-reported quarter.
Apartments.com (multifamily) is expected to have witnessed revenue growth in the third quarter of 2023, driven by strong traffic and higher ad spending. It is also benefiting from the addition of the Homes.com rental area to its network and the tremendous growth in traffic to Homes.com.
Per the latest data from Apartments.com, the national vacancy rate moved up 10 basis points to 7%, the slowest increase since the vacancy rate began ascending at the end of 2021.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Costar Group’s third-quarter 2023 revenues is pegged at $234 million, indicating 2.2% sequential growth. The consensus mark for Loopnet is pegged at $66 million, flat year over year.
