Executive Summary

Falling home prices, rising rents, inflation, mortgage rate hikes are causing havoc this year for real estate marketplaces. But far from collapsing, the real estate marketplaces are adapting. Fast. And they’re making long-term changes that should lead to sustainable profitability.

The 2022 Real Estate Marketplaces Annual brings you the lay of the land for property portals - 123 pages of trends, strategies and tactics, companies to watch, mega-lists and our signature deep-dive analysis.

Three major developments mark an industry transformation: The shift to qualifying seller leads from listings. The turbulent business of IBuying. And the development of sophisticated data as a foundation for any marketplace.

“Lessons have been learned. This isn’t 2008. There’s serious investment into fundamental overhaul, into transactions and data, with many real estate marketplaces starting to develop significant returns,” said Executive Editor Peter M. Zollman.

The report ranks the Top 50 real estate marketplace and classified sites; it also includes data on the top marketplaces in 66 countries. We also rank the world’s Top 35 real estate marketplaces by revenue.

Zillow remains at the top despite its disastrous IBuying venture. How did it stay on top? The analyst Greg Spencer analyzes the company’s ups and downs, and ups again.

The report spotlights some of the world’s most interesting real estate marketplaces: Scout24, based in Germany; RealWebGroup, with 12 marketplaces in southern and eastern Europe, and Boomin’, from the U.K. Boomin’ went bust; the report analyzes why.  It also covers “companies to watch,” AqarMap, which is betting big on data to build a property portal in Egypt, and EmlakJet, which is trying to make IBuying a success in Turkey.

The 2022 Real Estate Marketplaces Annual was produced with dozens of interviews and research into more than 260 companies.
