Description: CSGP CoStar September 29, 2025
CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP) delivers a suite of data, analytics, and online marketplace solutions covering commercial real estate (CRE) across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Its core offerings include CoStar Property (inventory of office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, student housing, and land), CoStar Leasing (lease-transaction data and management tools), CoStar Sales (commercial sales transactions), CoStar Owners (portfolio details), CoStar Markets (market- and sub-market trend reporting), and CoStar Tenant (tenant-level information).
Beyond data, the company operates several vertical platforms: CoStar Benchmarking (hotel performance comparison), CoStar Lender (loan-portfolio risk management), and lease-administration, accounting, and abstraction services. Its consumer-facing marketplaces comprise Apartamentos.com (apartment marketing), LoopNet.com (commercial property listings), Homes.com (residential listings), Ten-X (online CRE auctions), Land.com (rural land sales), and BizBuySell.com (business-for-sale listings).
CoStar’s client base spans CRE brokers, REITs, insurers, asset managers, government agencies, mortgage-backed-security issuers, appraisers, developers, pension funds, hospitality owners, and a broad array of professional service providers, reflecting the company’s role as a data backbone for the entire real-estate ecosystem.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of $2.2 billion, a 12 % year-over-year increase driven largely by subscription growth in its SaaS platforms, and an operating margin of roughly 30 %. The CRE sector’s outlook is heavily influenced by interest-rate cycles-higher rates suppress leasing activity but increase demand for data-driven risk analytics, a trend that has historically benefitted CoStar’s subscription model. Additionally, the ongoing shift toward digital deal-making (e.g., online auctions and virtual tours) provides a secular tailwind for CoStar’s marketplace assets.
For a deeper, data-driven valuation perspective, you may find ValueRay’s platform worth exploring.
