Realtor.com is a mainstay. It has amazing content, and it has a big brand and from CoStar\u2019s perspective, this acquisition should happen. This feels like the worst time to be selling a company \u2014 tech is down, real estate is down \u2014 but if the prices if fair then it makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acquisition of Realtor.com, which announced layoffs in late 2022, would be CoStar\u2019s third foray into residential real estate, as it acquired portal maker <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/real-estate-tech-roundup-costar-buys-homesnap\/?__hstc=43385018.5f1ddc53e010c2865f96cc27f29fdd65.1672670841746.1674656455180.1674660972711.57&amp;__hssc=43385018.7.1674660972711&amp;__hsfp=541345839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Homesnap<\/a><\/strong> in 2020 for $250 million and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/costar-to-acquire-homes-com-for-156-million\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Homes.com<\/a><\/strong> in 2021 for $156 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This news comes after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/24\/business\/media\/news-corp-fox-merger.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Murdoch proposed reuniting<\/a> <strong>Fox Corporation<\/strong> and News Corp. in October 2022, roughly 10 years after he split the two firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a note to investors, analysts at <strong>Keefe Bruyette Woods<\/strong> said the immediate financial impact of a deal for Realtor.com &#8220;is much less relevant, in our view, than the transformational strategic value that Realtor.com would bring to CoStar&#8217;s residential marketplace strategy under Homes.com, where one of the key uncertainties has been the company&#8217;s ability to build consumer traffic.&#8221;<br><br>Said KBW&#8217;s Ryan Tomasello, &#8220;Realtor.com&#8217;s strong brand awareness and nearly 90mn monthly unique visitors (&gt;10x CoStar&#8217;s existing residential traffic) would accelerate CoStar&#8217;s residential strategy by numerous years, catapulting the company to the #2 residential portal spot behind Zillow.
