LoopNet vs. CoStar

I saw an article in GlobeSt.com (Click on the title for the complete article) today regarding LoopNet and CoStar.

Apparently, both LoopNet and CoStar had filed petitions for preliminary injunctions against each other arguing the other engaged in deceptive marketing practices. However, US District Judge George Daniels did not grant an injunction to either company, according to court papers filed on Friday.

Who do you use and why?

I use both of them for slightly different purposes. I use LoopNet when I'm searching for property listings because I think that they have more listings.

I use CoStar when I want to find out information about a property because I think that they do a better job of researching properties (I've actually seen a CoStar van parked outside of an office building doing property research), but I will use it to search for property listings.

Your comments are always appreciated. Thanks for reading.
