Multiples are holding steady at around 36X average across 351 online business listings. The average multiple has decreased slightly from its peak due to factors like the slowing economy.
The number of listings of content sites is down as expected during the start of Q4. Sellers typically do not want to sell during the highest earning months of the year. We will see an influx of deals in Q1 2023.
