2020 - Costar Altertnatives
I have a lot of alternatives this year, in my market vs NONE a couple of years ago, Yardi is doing a pretty good job for much less money.  However they still lead with lease listings. Has anyone else found their market change away from CoStar over the past 12 or so months?
