Expanding its scope has resulted in record traffic for real estate marketplace Point2, which recorded 13 million visits in May. Formerly known as Point2 Homes and covering the homes for sale niche, the platform has extended its business by developing its rental and commercial real estate verticals.
In addition to serving homebuyers, Point2 now offers services to renters looking for homes and apartments for rent, tenants looking for office or retail space and investors and brokers searching for commercial properties. May’s total visits were up 52% year-over-year. Visits to the site increased substantially across the board, but the U.S. market stands out with a 72% year-over-year boost.
Point2 is a member of the Yardi ILS Network, a new initiative launched by parent company Yardi Systems. The group also includes RentCafé, CommercialCafé, PropertyShark and StorageCafé, offering homes for sale, rentals, housing data, office space and storage facilities. The Yardi ILS Network also achieved a new traffic milestone in May, garnering a total of 18.8 million visits to its websites.
