Zillow and Redfin settled an FTC antitrust case over a 2025 rental listings partnership where Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to halt competition, potentially harming rental advertising market competition. The settlement requires Redfin to restart its independent rental ad business and lifts restrictions limiting its competition with Zillow.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech, and 18 sources have reported it between 21 Aug 2026 and 25 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for renewed competition if you operate in rental advertising; Redfin’s return shakes up a concentrated market and challenges Zillow’s dominance.
