I’ve used CoStar mainly for checking leasing trends in downtown Chicago. The database is detailed and usually accurate, which helps in negotiations. However, the subscription cost feels steep, especially for smaller firms like mine.

I use CoStar mainly for tracking commercial sales and leasing trends. The info is pretty full and accurate, which is great. However, I find the user interface a bit outdated and not very intuitive, which slows me down sometimes. Also, some reports take a while to generate. If they invest in improving the app’s speed and design, it would be perfect for my daily needs.

CoStar offers rich data especially for office spaces but I found their advanced search a bit clunky. It sometimes takes a while to dial down results to what I really need. On the plus side, the export feature is handy and customer service is responsive when I had questions about market reports. I stick with it because the data quality is tough to beat.

CoStar has been my go-to for market analytics in the retail sector for over a year now. The level of data granularity is impressive and helps me justify investment decisions with concrete figures. Sometimes the platform lags or boots me out during busy periods, which can be annoying when working on tight deadlines. Customer support is helpful and usually resolves issues quickly. Despite some hiccups, it’s a reliable tool I keep coming back to.
