What happened
Zillow and Redfin settled an FTC antitrust case over a 2025 partnership where Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to display Zillow's rental listings instead of competing, potentially keeping Redfin out of rental advertising for up to nine years. Under the settlement, Redfin must reenter the rental advertising business and can compete independently for property-management customers.
