ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Homes.com, a CoStar Group leading online residential marketplace, has been recognized as a 2025 Inman Best of Proptech Award Winner in the Consumer Experience & Marketplace Innovation category. The award recognizes Homes.com’s leadership in transforming the home search experience through technology and direct agent-to-consumer connection.

Homes.com is the fastest growing revenue product CoStar Group has ever launched, with over 26,000 Members, up nearly 150% since Q3 2024, and 7,000 Members joining in Q3 2025 alone. Throughout 2025, Homes.com has launched several new features, ensuring the portal is the most comprehensive, user-friendly platform on the market. This includes Smart Search, an AI-powered feature that allows users to search the way they speak, and Homes.com Boost, a digital marketing package designed to help homeowners sell their homes faster and for more.
