Realtor.com’s 2026 midyear forecast shows home price growth slowing to 1.2% while mortgage rates hold steady and affordability improves for buyers.
Here’s BAM’s recap of the Zillow, MRED and Compass hearing on July 1-2, 2026, and what happens next.
Zillow’s Errol Samuelson explains the MRED-Compass lawsuit on LinkedIn, and over 200 commenters are pushing back hard on the company’s framing.
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.
Zillow launches Zillow Preview to bring pre-market listings into public view, positioning itself against private network strategies like Compass’ partnership with Redfin and reshaping how homes are marketed before hitting the MLS.
Zillow’s new policy aims to curb the use of private listing networks by excluding publicly marketed “off-MLS” properties. This move has sparked renewed debate over transparency, competition, and consumer access in real estate.
