In 2022, the long upward trend in online shopping came to a halt, and it further deteriorated last year. The number of buyers decreased the most markedly in the 16–35 age group.

The new Hungarian owners aim to protect their users by already having local customer service in place for the Jófogás, Vatera.hu, Használtautó.hu, and Ingatlan.com marketplaces.

The Ingatlan.com portfolio also includes Money.hu, a site that compares banking, financial, and insurance products, which complements the marketplaces.
