12 PropTech Acquisitions, 2024 to 2026: Who Bought CRE’s Record
Twelve proptech acquisitions closed between January 2024 and September 2026. PSV checked each one against the buyer’s own filing or press release, corrected four numbers that are circulating wrong, and pulled out the pattern: the big platforms bought the records of a building (scans, leases, work orders, the data layer), then bought AI agents to work on them.
Direct answer
Direct answer to proptech acquisitions 2024 2025 2026
Across twelve proptech acquisitions from 2024 through 2026, the six with disclosed prices add up to about $6.4 billion, led by Autodesk’s MaintainX ($3.53 billion net of cash) and CoStar’s Matterport (about $1.6 billion). Six prices were never disclosed. The common thread is ownership of the property record, then AI that acts on it. For operators, the practical question is contractual: can you still get your data out, on what terms, from a vendor that keeps changing owners.

The twelve deals, checked against the record
A list of twelve proptech acquisitions has been going around as the year wraps up, billed as the deals that will shape the industry. It is a decent list. But several of the numbers floating around with it are rounded, early or attached to the wrong year, so PSV went back to each buyer’s own press release or SEC filing. If you are deciding what to do about one of your vendors, you want the version that holds up.
Here it is. Deals are sorted by when they closed, which is why Matterport, signed in April 2024, lands in 2025. Prices are what the buyer filed or announced. “Not disclosed” means PSV found no public number from either side. Descriptions of what each company does are the companies’ own.
| Buyer and target | Closed | Price as disclosed | What changed hands |
|---|---|---|---|
| HqO acquires Symbiosy (from HB Reavis) | January 2024 | Not disclosed | Smart-building systems integrations, IoT and workplace software |
| reAlpha Tech Corp. acquires AiChat Pte. Ltd. | July 2024 | About $1.14 million in reAlpha stock, for an 85% stake | Conversational AI for customer service, to be built into reAlpha’s homebuying platform |
| Zillow Group acquires Virtual Staging AI | October 2024 | Not disclosed | AI-generated staged listing photos |
| CoStar Group acquires Visual Lease | November 1, 2024 | $276.0 million total consideration | Lease administration and lease accounting software |
| CoStar Group acquires Matterport | February 28, 2025 (signed April 21, 2024) | About $1.6 billion, cash and CoStar stock | 3D digital twins of more than 14 million spaces, the company says |
| Inside Real Estate acquires ListAssist | March 2025 | Not disclosed | AI property search and listing descriptions, folded into the BoldTrail CRM |
| MRI Software acquires Anacle Systems | June 2025 | HK$1.10 per share take-private; total not stated | Property and facilities management software across Asia; Anacle delisted from Hong Kong |
| RealPage acquires Rexera | July 2025 | Not disclosed | AI agents for HOA resale documents, lien searches and mortgage payoffs |
| Procore acquires Datagrid | January 16, 2026 | $168.0 million in cash | Agentic AI that searches and connects construction data |
| RealPage acquires Cherre | July 14, 2026 | Not disclosed | The data integration and governance layer institutional owners use |
| Autodesk acquires MaintainX | August 3, 2026 | About $3.53 billion, preliminary, net of cash acquired | Maintenance, work order and asset operations software |
| Procore acquires DroneDeploy | September 9, 2026 | About $845.0 million in cash | Drone and reality-capture imagery of jobsites and operating assets |
What the buyers were actually buying
Look past the headlines and these twelve deals buy four kinds of thing. First, pictures of the building: Matterport’s 3D scans, DroneDeploy’s jobsite captures and Virtual Staging AI’s furnished listing photos. Second, the day-to-day operating records: Visual Lease’s lease abstracts and accounting schedules, MaintainX’s work orders, Anacle’s facilities records and Symbiosy’s building-systems connections. Third, the plumbing that ties those records together, which is what RealPage got with Cherre. Fourth, AI that does the work instead of just describing it: Rexera’s agents chase HOA documents and payoff letters, Datagrid’s agents search construction data, and ListAssist and AiChat handle search and the first conversation with a buyer.
Who bought matters more than what. CoStar, RealPage, Procore and Autodesk made seven of the twelve deals and paid all but about $1 million of the disclosed dollars. Each one already owned the main system for one stage of a building’s life (market data, the rent roll, the construction project, the design file) and spent these three years buying the stage next door. Procore shows the pattern in one year: in January it bought a company that builds AI agents, and in September it bought the jobsite imagery those agents can work from.
The press releases lead with AI, but most of what changed hands is years of dated, structured records about specific properties. That is what any useful AI tool runs on, and it is hard to rebuild from scratch. RealPage said nearly this when it bought Cherre: the bottleneck for AI in real estate is clean, connected data, not the model. That is the company’s argument, not a PSV finding, but the prices paid are consistent with it.
Four numbers the popular version gets wrong
If you repeat this list, fix these first. Visual Lease cost CoStar $276.0 million in total consideration, according to its 10-K; the $272.5 million figure in trade coverage came from the earnings call. reAlpha bought 85 percent of AiChat, not all of it, and paid in its own stock over several tranches. Autodesk’s MaintainX number is about $3.53 billion, preliminary and net of cash acquired, from its quarterly filing; the round $3.6 billion is not what Autodesk filed. And Procore never announced the Datagrid price. The $168.0 million first showed up in its 10-Q, which also gives the January 16, 2026 closing date.
Be careful with the total, too. The six disclosed prices add up to about $6.4 billion, but they are not like-for-like: one is an announced deal value (Matterport), two are filed purchase consideration (Visual Lease, Datagrid), one is net of cash (MaintainX), one is a cash price still subject to adjustment (DroneDeploy) and one is a stock-paid stake (AiChat). Treat $6.4 billion as a rough scale, not a market size. The other six deals, including both RealPage purchases, have no public price, so the true figure is higher by an amount no one outside those deals can tell you.
Why a CRE operator should care
If you use any of these products, the practical change is simple: the company holding your data may not be the company you signed with. The lease abstracts your team cleaned up, the work order history your engineers logged and the scans you paid for at turnover now sit inside larger platforms that sell you other things. That shifts three things you care about: what you pay at renewal, what the vendor is allowed to do with your data, and how hard it is to leave.
The speed is the other reason to pay attention. Four of these companies changed hands in 2026 alone, and the four big buyers are still shopping. If you last read your vendor contracts when you signed them, they may describe a counterparty that no longer exists. PSV covered three of these deals in separate briefs when they closed: Procore and DroneDeploy, Autodesk and MaintainX, and RealPage and Cherre. Taken together, the twelve suggest the next deal in your stack is a matter of when, not if.

RealPage’s acquisitions of Cherre and Rexera were not priced publicly.
How much did CoStar pay for Visual Lease?
CoStar Group’s Form 10-K for 2024 states total consideration of $276.0 million for Visual Lease, which closed November 1, 2024. Trade coverage reported $272.5 million, the figure executives cited on the third-quarter 2024 earnings call.
What should I do if a proptech vendor I use is acquired?
Ask three questions before your next renewal: can you export all of your data today with dates and history intact, will the new owner use your data in its other products, and what do the assignment and change-of-control clauses in your contract allow. Have an AI assistant pull the clauses with citations, but leave the decision to your operations lead and counsel.
