5. Is Idealista really worth 3 billion euros? 💶🏡
The Proptech sector is enjoying a very sweet moment in 2024 and projections for the coming years are promising. General Atlantic is considering the purchase of Idealista for 3 billion euros 💸, but is the popular real estate portal really worth this figure? 🕵️♂️.
Idealista, founded in 2000, has established itself as the leading housing search platform in Spain, also having a presence in Italy and Portugal 🌍. With millions of monthly users and an immense database of properties, its impact on the real estate market is undeniable 🏢.
In terms of revenue, Idealista has shown steady growth, diversifying its sources of income through advertising, premium services for real estate agents, and market analysis tools 📊. Its ability to generate profits and its market share give it a solid valuation.
The real estate market is constantly evolving, and platforms like Idealista benefit from trends in digitalization and the need for accurate and accessible data for buyers and sellers 🏠; however, Idealista is no longer strictly “a startup,” and some of its processes are challenged by new disruptive proposals from smaller players who identify specific opportunities within the sector and new trends that Idealista cannot cover.
However, a valuation of 3 billion euros also includes a good dose of future expectations 🚀.
👉 Here you can read more about the possible acquisition of Idealista by General Atlantic.
