The FTC and a coalition of five states are set to go to trial against Zillow and Redfin over a $100 million rental listing syndication deal accused of violating antitrust laws by reducing competition in the rental advertising market.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tougher scrutiny from regulators on real estate platform deals that may limit competition. The Zillow-Redfin case opens a clear risk window for any rental marketplace founder relying on exclusivity agreements.
