Everything you need to know about Zillow’s listing war with MRED and Compass

▤ Summary

Zillow filed a preliminary injunction to stop MRED from terminating its IDX/VOW listing feeds amid an antitrust lawsuit that also involves Compass. MRED suspended feed access after alleging Zillow violated licensing terms by not displaying all supplied listings under its Listing Access Standards. The dispute traces to Zillow’s policy rollout and Compass’s earlier antitrust challenge, and escalated when MRED partnered with Compass to expand a private listing network nationally. A judge ordered MRED to restore thousands of Chicago-area listings while allowing Zillow to keep enforcing its policy outside MRED’s territory, with specific conditions on restored listings and ZIP-code restrictions.
