Zillow and Redfin settle FTC antitrust case over their rental listings partnership
The FTC has reached a settlement with Zillow and Redfin regarding an antitrust case over their 2025 rental listings partnership. The agreement mandates that Redfin resume its own rental advertising business and removes restrictions that prevented the companies from competing in the multifamily listings market.
Why it matters
This settlement aims to restore competition in the online real estate market, potentially lowering barriers for property management companies and renters.
The FTC and Zillow have announced a settlement that ends the case alleging that a 2025 “partnership” between Zillow and Redfin violated antitrust laws. The FTC had alleged Zillow agreed to pay Redfin to syndicate its listings, while Redfin would end its own advertising contracts and promise not to compete with Zillow for multifamily listings.
