The FTC and five states resolved antitrust concerns by ordering Zillow and Redfin to end restrictions that limited competition in the online rental listing market. Redfin must reenter the market with significant investment and more listings, alongside provisions preventing Zillow from blocking Redfin's growth or poaching employees.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a reopened US rental listing market as Redfin returns with fresh funding and stronger capacity to compete with Zillow. Lock in new contracts and consider how this renewed rivalry will pressure pricing and terms in real estate advertising.
