Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Note
CoStar’s first-quarter performance is likely to have suffered from the negative trends in the multifamily market. Supply has been outweighing demand, which does not bode well for CoStar’s top-line growth.
Apartments.com witnessed positive monthly rent growth in January and February. However, raging inflation, challenging macroeconomic conditions, and higher interest rates have been dampening consumer confidence, which is expected to hurt CoStar’s to-be-reported quarter results.
CoStar is expected to have witnessed a higher vacancy rate, thereby lower rent growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
