CoStar filed an amicus brief opposing Zillow’s injunction motion in the MRED case, arguing Zillow Preview contradicts Zillow’s own legal position.
Zillow filed a federal antitrust lawsuit alleging MRED and Compass conspired to cut off listing data access and force Zillow to promote private listings nationwide.
In a new court filing, Zillow accuses Compass of running a “Hidden Listing Scheme” that limits transparency and misleads buyers through its three-phase marketing strategy. The filing urges the court to deny Compass’ request for an injunction and defends Zillow’s 24-hour listing policy as pro-consumer and pro-competition.
Compass has filed a motion to block Zillow’s new Listing Access Standards (LAS), citing potential business losses and consumer harm. The case could have broad implications for agents using pre-MLS marketing strategies.
