Estate note. Heirs receive a stepped-up basis at death (§1014), eliminating built-in gain on inherited shares. Older holders who plan to bequeath rather than sell may rationally never de-concentrate.

Andrew Florance founded the company in 1987 to build a commercial real estate database, and its research staff physically verifies property and lease data that is otherwise scattered and private. That proprietary collection is the moat: subscriptions to CoStar Suite are close to mandatory for brokers and appraisers. Apartments.com and, more recently, Homes.com extended the model into residential listings, funded by very large marketing campaigns. Residential expansion is the expensive bet on an established data business. Headquarters are in Arlington, Virginia.

If a meaningful share of your net worth sits in CSGP, concentration risk is the question. This calculator quantifies drawdown impact at 30 / 50 / 70%, and the trade-off between selling down (tax cost now) versus hedging (option premium drag), auto-filled with CSGP's option-implied volatility.

Example: 5,000 CSGP shares at $31.38 is a $156,900 position. A 30% drawdown costs $47,070; a 50% drawdown costs $78,450; a 70% drawdown costs $109,830. The calculator quantifies the trade-off between selling down (immediate capital-gains tax) and hedging (option premium drag) using CSGP's option-implied volatility and your cost basis.

How much CSGP stock is too much?
There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your CSGP position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
Does CoStar Group grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at CoStar Group typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
