Homes.com is a CoStar Group property, and its own footer lists eight sibling marketplaces — Apartments.com, ApartmentFinder, ApartmentHomeLiving, ForRent, LoopNet, Land.com, BizBuySell and Domain.com.au. A renter who checks Homes.com, then Apartments.com, then ForRent, then ApartmentFinder believes they are comparison-shopping across four independent sites; they are supplying the same corporate parent four times. Privacy-rights requests and the cookie policy both leave the Homes.com domain entirely and resolve to CoStar, confirming the data is handled at group level. CoStar is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
