Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Expanding the Apartments.com network to smaller property owners, a largely untapped market for the firm that represents roughly two-thirds of the total addressable market, could provide tremendous upside.

Bears

Large-scale data sharing arrangements between CRE brokers, lenders, and/or upstart data providers could disrupt the core CRE business.
