The name is a play on words of <strong>Homesnap<\/strong>, the MLS-compatible brokerage app <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/real-estate-tech-roundup-costar-buys-homesnap\/\">CoStar acquired in 2020<\/a>. CoStar positioned the website and app to challenge <strong>Zillow<\/strong>-owned <strong>StreetEasy<\/strong> as the go-to listings service in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike almost every other U.S. market, New York real estate professionals <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/the-problem-with-banning-pocket-listings\/\">tend not to rely on<\/a> Multiple Listings Services feeds. Instead, brokers mainly feed listings to StreetEasy, a website Zillow acquired in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StreetEasy, to some brokers&#8217; chagrin, charges listing fees and uses Zillow\u2019s Premier Agent, <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/where-real-estate-agents-fit-into-zillows-grand-vision\/\">in which buyer\u2019s agents pay<\/a> Zillow to pop up as points of contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CoStar CEO Andy Florance has indicated Citynsap will not charge for all listings, but it will offer brokers the option to pay for prominent placing. Also, Florance has said Citysnap will not generate revenue by selling ads to buyer\u2019s agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Citysnap is to operate based on the mantra, \u201cYour listing, your lead,\u201d with an initial focus on Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have been working hard over the last eight months to develop a first-class product customized for Manhattan,\u201d said a Citysnap spokeswoman. \u201cThe past several months has been dedicated to development and marketing, and we\u2019re thrilled to be launching a product that addresses all the pain points that come with searching for a home in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Citysnap roll out comes during a tumultuous time for real estate in New York City and the country, as <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/fed-moves-fast-increases-rates-by-75-bps\/\">interest rates rise<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/oh-no-look-at-this-agents-react-to-a-housing-market-slowdown\/\">stock market rockets up and down<\/a>. New York-based <strong>Compass<\/strong>, which has become the top brokerage in the country based on 2021 sales volume, <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/compass-lays-off-450-halts-trading-on-nyse\/\">laid off 450 people<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At times Florance has been aggressive in marketing this Zillow competitor, throwing a party at the <strong>National Association of Realtor\u2019s <\/strong>annual meeting in San Diego and declaring: \u201cZillow is no longer a relevant player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Citysnap currently does not seem to be the talk of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo one has brought it up and I haven\u2019t seen anything online,\u201d said Jonathan Miller, real estate appraiser for <strong>Miller Samuel<\/strong>. \u201cThat\u2019s not a good sign if they want to win over the consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frederick Peters, president of <strong>Coldwell Banker Warburg <\/strong>and a member of the Real Estate Board of New York\u2019s executive committee, noted Citysnap has not exactly conducted a publicity sweep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProbably not enough people know about it,\u201d Peters said. \u201cBut once it actually appears and people are using it, then I promise you everyone will know about it in a hurry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spokeswoman for StreetEasy noted the website has not made any alterations in anticipation of Citysnap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citynsap has branded itself as agent-friendly because it features only the listing agent\u2019s name on the posting. On the other hand, StreetEasy argues Premier Agent is consumer-friendly. That\u2019s because, the argument goes, StreetEasy encourages consumers to connect with a buyer\u2019s agent who is not also the listing agent, thereby representing seller and buyer. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark your calendars: On June 30, CoStar&#8217;s much-anticipated Citysnap takes on Zillow&#8217;s StreetEasy for New York listing supremacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16592,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[736],"class_list":["post-3259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
