Zillow and Redfin settled an FTC antitrust case concerning a 2025 partnership where Redfin agreed to display Zillow’s rental listings, limiting competition in rental advertising. The FTC alleged Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to avoid competition, potentially harming market pricing and terms.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech, and 19 sources have reported it between 21 Aug 2026 and 1 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tighter US regulatory environment that will punish agreements limiting competition, especially in real estate advertising. Watch for new rivals reentering rental ads and pricing pressure from revived competition.
