Homes.com, part of CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP), released its June ranking of the most expensive publicly marketed home sales across major U.S. metros, based on MLS data on Homes.com. The highest recorded sale was a Los Angeles luxury compound at $46.95 million, followed by Miami at $43 million, with San Francisco ($26.5 million), New York City ($23.5 million) and Las Vegas ($22 million) rounding out the top five.
The list also includes high-end sales in Dallas ($18 million), Tampa ($14.5 million), San Diego ($12.2 million), Phoenix ($12 million), Seattle ($11.6 million), Boston ($10.6 million) and other regional hubs, underscoring concentrated ultra-luxury activity in coastal markets and select inland cities. According to Homes.com, constrained inventory supports pricing in markets like Seattle and Cleveland, while buyers often favor established luxury neighborhoods. The analysis excludes private and off-market transactions.
The company also notes that the Homes.com Network averaged 108 million monthly unique visitors in 2025, while organic traffic to Homes.com rose more than 100% year-over-year each month in the first quarter of 2026. An internal review of about 11,000 member agents showed an average annual commission increase of $36,400, though results vary.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) reports that U.S. retail asking rent growth slowed to +1.6% year over year in Q2 2026, the weakest pace in more than a decade. CoStar Group attributes this to market normalization amid softer consumer spending, higher interest rates and tenant cost pressures.
Despite slower growth, CoStar Group notes landlords still secure substantial rent spreads on lease turnovers, with spreads near multi-decade highs in many markets. Sun Belt metros such as Phoenix, Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte and Las Vegas continue to post roughly 3%–6% annual rent growth.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) reports that UK warehouse demand has increased after three years of occupier consolidation and elevated costs.

Defence-linked demand reached nearly 1 million square feet in the first half of 2026, supported by the UK Ministry of Defence’s 545,000‑square‑foot facility at Panattoni Park Swindon. CoStar highlights Amazon’s estimated 6 million square feet of take-up over 18 months and rapid expansion by Chinese e‑commerce platforms, with more than 2 million square feet leased or under offer by mid‑2026.

Across the 933 tracked markets, 64% recorded year-over-year price gains and 36% saw declines. Chicago and Jacksonville posted solid increases, whereas San Jose and Seattle had price drops of 4.6% and 3.1%. Single-family home prices and inventories grew faster than townhomes and condos, highlighting differences by property type as well as by metro.
According to Homes.com, its network averaged 108 million monthly unique visitors in 2025, while organic traffic more than doubled year over year in each month of Q1 2026.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) reported that U.S. retail construction activity in Q2 2026 remained near post‑pandemic lows, with roughly 72.1 million square feet under construction. This volume is up just 0.9% year over year and remains below the 10‑year average of about 78.9 million square feet, indicating a constrained development environment.
According to CoStar, higher land prices, construction costs and interest rates have pushed required rents above prevailing market levels for many formats, limiting viable projects. New retail construction is concentrated in 15 markets that represent nearly 47% of the national pipeline, led by Dallas, Houston and Austin, which together account for 21% of U.S. space under construction, or about 15 million square feet.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) appointed Robin Rossmann as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 31, 2026, succeeding Christian Lown, who is leaving to pursue an opportunity outside the company’s industry. Rossmann will report to Founder and CEO Andy Florance and lead CoStar Group’s global finance organization, overseeing financial and operational performance, capital allocation, planning and investor engagement.
Rossmann currently serves as Managing Director, Europe, and has eliminated approximately $51 million in European costs over the past two years, about 25% of the region’s cost structure, while delivering double-digit revenue growth and launching CoStar in France. The company stated that Lown’s departure does not stem from any disagreement regarding operations, policies or practices.

Nearly half of the 20 largest office markets still see depressed volume and weak deal counts. The data reflect only new lease commitments executed through the end of Q2 2026, excluding renewals, which CoStar Group notes typically have limited impact on occupancy.
