CoStar buys STR for $450M

Well, what do you think? Is this good or bad for hoteliers? First glance I think this is a good move for CoStar to branch into a different asset class. On the other hand, I liked that STR was family owned. Does it now become too clunky being absorbed by a bigger conglomerate or RE market research tools?

Be careful.. the CoStar thought police are onto you. Really trying to be big brother for all CRE information.
