M&A advisory for the Real Estate Software sector
Oaklins is your trusted M&A advisor for transactions within the Real Estate Software sector
The Real Estate Software sector (RES) is influenced by various global trends resulting in a holistic market transformation.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) play a crucial role in achieving early and strategic positioning, offering significant value creation potential. The following key developments promise stable medium- to long-term growth potential for the RES market:
- Market Shift to Cloud Solutions: The market is shifting from on-premise solutions to cloud-based solutions as cloud platforms enhance the value proposition through scalability and accessibility, leading to higher valuations. In contrast, multiples for traditional on-premise providers will be negatively affected.
- Sustainability and Environmental Awareness: With increasing environmental awareness, real estate software solutions are incorporating features related to sustainability, energy efficiency, and green building practices. This leads to increasing demand for visualization and planning software solutions. This segment will continue to see large investments and high multiples as the importance of ESG compliance grows.
- Automation and AI Technologies: Automation and AI technologies are becoming increasingly popular in the real estate market as they significantly simplify routine tasks of real estate professionals (e.g., brokers, investors, property managers). The potential for increased efficiency, cost savings, and improved customer experiences positively impacts valuations in this subsector.
- Integration and Interoperability: Real estate software providers and users are increasingly dependent on integration services and the interoperability of software systems such as CRM, property management, and financial accounting. Companies offering proper solutions can therefore often demand higher valuations due to their strategic relevance, especially in transactions motivated by vertical integration.
These trends underscore the importance of strategic mergers and acquisitions as well as innovation for the further development and resilience of the real estate software market.
