Proptech Innovator Roofstock Launches Short-Term Rental Management Division With Investment in Casago
BUSINESS WIRE)-- Roofstock, a leading platform for investing in and managing single-family rental (SFR) homes, announced its participation in the investor consortium that took Vacasa, Inc. private on May 1. As part of the transaction, Roofstock has secured an ownership stake in Casago, the merged entity, and will officially enter the short-term rental management business by launching Casago franchises in three popular travel destinations:
This strategic expansion reflects Roofstock's commitment to delivering a unified platform of proprietary data and institutional-grade tools for real estate investors of all sizes to research, acquire, manage, and optimize rental properties—whether long-term or short-term.
'Today is an exciting day at Roofstock and for our industry. Historically, we have focused on providing end-to-end real estate investment services for the SFR industry across the ownership lifecycle; from buying to managing to selling. We are excited to extend this suite of products and tools to the massive short-term rental sector, and we couldn't be more excited to partner with Casago,' said Gary Beasley, co-founder and CEO of Roofstock.
By partnering with Casago's franchise network, Roofstock will extend its Rental Genome™ powered tools, such as automated underwriting, home mapping and real-time portfolio intelligence, as well as Stessa, its asset management and accounting software, to the short-term rental sector—simplifying the owner experience and enhancing returns for investors.
'Our initial markets of Tampa, Charleston, and the Oregon Coast each enjoy strong tourism dynamics and robust demand. We look forward to working with short-term rental investors to help them optimize the performance of their homes while providing exceptional experiences to our guests,' said Doug Brien, president of Roofstock and co-Founder of Mynd, which merged with Roofstock last year.
Roofstock has appointed Craig Rashkow to lead its short-term rental division. Rashkow brings deep experience across short-term and long-term rental operations, having held leadership roles at several innovative real estate and hospitality companies, including Sonder and Summer. With a background in scaling high-performing service organizations that leverage modern technology tools, he brings a unique perspective to the convergence of SFR and STR strategies.
'We're pioneering the integration of single-family and short-term rentals with the technology investors need to participate in a cohesive and data-driven way,' said Rashkow. 'Having worked across both asset types, I've long believed that unifying them is a critical next step for the industry and for investors. Roofstock is uniquely positioned to lead this evolution—and I'm thrilled to help make it happen.'
Debt financing to support Roofstock's investment in this transaction was provided by Coromandel Capital.
'Coromandel is proud to support Roofstock in expanding its platform into the STR space. This marks a natural evolution in the convergence of SFR and STR models, and we believe Roofstock – armed with a best-in-class technology platform, unparalleled data insights, deep operational expertise, and a premier property management platform – is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. We are excited to back a team that shares our vision for modernizing real estate investment infrastructure,' said Alex Wu, Co-Founder at Coromandel.

Cotality: External Pressures Suppress Home Price Growth Across the U.S.
Year-over-year price growth slowed to 2.0% in April 2025, with single-family detached homes still growing at 2.46% annual rate while single-family detached homes posted a 0.08% decline — the first annual decline since 2012. Markets with continued largest home price gains this spring remain in Northeast and Midwest, particularly more affordable areas surrounding large expensive metros. Florida, Texas, Hawaii, and Washington D.C. reported negative home price growth. IRVINE, Calif., June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cotality, a leading global property information, analytics, and data-enabled solutions provider, released its latest Cotality Home Price Index™ (HPI™) for April 2025. April posted the lowest home price growth in more than a decade. Widespread concern about personal finances, job prospects, and potential tariff impacts continues to weigh on home prices. "Housing market headwinds continue to challenge homebuying demand, but improved for-sale supply is providing buyers with more options and helping keep softer price pressures for those looking to buy this spring. And while annual home price growth has slowed considerably, home prices this spring have held up, and gains have mostly mirrored trends seen before the pandemic. This is encouraging given the fears that consumer sentiment has faltered. Cotality's home price forecast for the coming month expects the solid home price trend to continue," said Cotality's Chief Economist Dr. Selma Hepp. The Northeast, which has been an outlier in recent months and posting solid growth, had a couple of states reverse course in April. New York and Vermont posted home prices that were furthest from their peaks. Also, more markets are posting negative growth, with Hawaii, Florida, Texas, and Washington D.C. seeing price appreciation dip to -2%, -0.8%, -0.7%, and -0.6%, respectively. "It is important to note that the number of markets where home prices are declining has not grown notably," explained Hepp. "About 14 of the 100 largest markets reported annual declines, up from 12 markets last month, with the majority concentrated in Florida and Texas. Cape Coral, Florida shows the largest annual decline at 7% year over year, and prices are back at levels seen in the spring of 2022." Florida continues to course correct after years of explosive growth. Cotality's Office of the Chief Economist reveals that several markets in the state are seeing price declines — the state overall saw -0.8% price appreciation in April — and all five of the U.S.'s most at-risk markets are located in the Sunshine State. Florida also saw its median sales price dip below the national median to $390,000, dropping the state out of the top 20 most expensive markets. The next Cotality Home Price Index will be released July 1, featuring data for May 2025. For ongoing housing trends and data, visit the Cotality Insights blog: Methodology The Cotality HPI™ is built on industry-leading public record, servicing and securities real-estate databases and incorporates more than 45 years of repeat-sales transactions for analyzing home price trends. Generally released on the first Tuesday of each month with an average five-week lag, the Cotality HPI is designed to provide an early indication of home price trends by market segment and for the Single-Family Combined tier, representing the most comprehensive set of properties, including all sales for single-family attached and single-family detached properties. The indices are fully revised with each release and employ techniques to signal turning points sooner. The Cotality HPI provides measures for multiple market segments, referred to as tiers, based on property type, price, time between sales, loan type (conforming vs. non-conforming) and distressed sales. Broad national coverage is available from the national level down to ZIP Code, including non-disclosure states. Cotality HPI Forecasts™ are based on a two-stage, error-correction econometric model that combines the equilibrium home price—as a function of real disposable income per capita—with short-run fluctuations caused by market momentum, mean-reversion, and exogenous economic shocks like changes in the unemployment rate. With a 30-year forecast horizon, Cotality HPI Forecasts project Cotality HPI levels for two tiers — Single-Family Combined (both attached and detached) and Single-Family Combined Excluding Distressed Sales. As a companion to the Cotality HPI Forecasts, Stress-Testing Scenarios align with Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) national scenarios to project five years of home prices under baseline, adverse and severely adverse scenarios at state, metropolitan areas and ZIP Code levels. The forecast accuracy represents a 95% statistical confidence interval with a +/- 2% margin of error for the index. About Market Risk Indicators Market Risk Indicators are a subscription-based analytics solution that provide monthly updates on the overall health of housing markets across the country. Cotality data scientists combine world-class analytics with detailed economic and housing data to help determine the likelihood of a housing bubble burst in 392 major metros and all 50 states. Market Risk Indicators is a multi-phase regression model that provides a probability score (from 1 to 100) on the likelihood of two scenarios per metro: a >10% price reduction and a ≤ 10% price reduction. The higher the score, the higher the risk of a price reduction. About the Market Condition Indicators As part of the Cotality HPI and HPI Forecasts offerings, Market Condition Indicators are available for all metropolitan areas and identify individual markets as overvalued, at value or undervalued. These indicators are derived from the long-term fundamental values, which are a function of real disposable income per capita. Markets are labeled as overvalued if the current home price indexes exceed their long-term values by greater than 10% and undervalued where the long-term values exceed the index levels by greater than 10%.
