Costar is really trying hard to make Homes.com number one.

  • Spending a ton of money on marketing: CoStar has pledged to spend $1 billion on marketing Homes.com in 2024, which includes a Super Bowl ad campaign featuring celebrities like Jeff Goldblum and Maya Rudolph.
  • Leveraging their existing network: CoStar already has a large network of commercial real estate professionals, and they're using those connections to promote Homes.com to their clients.
  • Improving the platform: CoStar has been investing heavily in improving the Homes.com platform, making it more user-friendly and adding new features.

It remains to be seen whether CoStar's efforts will be successful in pushing Homes.com to the number one spot. But they're certainly making a big splash. Superbowl ads- how much do they cost?

Here are some of the challenges Homes.com faces:

  • Competition: The residential real estate portal market is already crowded, with established players like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin.
  • Brand awareness: Homes.com is still a relatively unknown brand compared to its competitors.
  • Consumer trust: Building trust with consumers takes time, and Homes.com will need to overcome the perception that it's just a marketing tool for CoStar.

Overall, it will be interesting to see how Homes.com fares in the competitive residential real estate portal market. CoStar is certainly putting a lot of muscle behind it, but it remains to be seen whether that will be enough to overcome the challenges it faces.
