Housing to Buy Homebuy360.com

Softbank backed Housing.com, owned and operated by Locon Solutions Private Limited, is in advanced talks to acquire Homebuy360.com, a Koramangala based RETech startup that connects builders, brokers and buyers. Housing will pay close to Rs. 5 Crore for cloud based Real Estate startup.
This is Housing third acquisition. In May this year, it acquired Delhi based Realty Business Intelligence private limited, an information portal focused on the realty industry for Rs.10 Crore. In March, it acquired Real Estate focused online discussion platform, Indian Real Estate Forum for Rs. 8 Crore. Earlier this year, it was seeking to buy real estate data analytics platform PropEquity for an estimated deal value of around Rs. 80-85 Crore but later in May it called off the negotiations.

As of now, the company is present in seven cities, including Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Nagpur, and Delhi and has 35 real estate developers on board like Pride Purple, Vaswani group, The Address Makers, PBEL, and Puranik Developers. The portal operates on various revenue models for developers, including pay per user, pay over time, pay as you sell and pay per project model.
