The lawsuit alleged that Zillow paid $100 million to competitor Redfin to exit the internet listing service (ILS) market for apartment rentals. As part of the settlement, Redfin will re-enter the ILS market with a commitment to increased listings, aiming to restore competition and potentially lower costs for renters and property management companies. The agreement also includes provisions for Zillow to assist Redfin with employee recruitment and allow Zillow customers to renegotiate contracts without penalty. AI
