The ability to offer standalone multifamily advertising products creates a new growth vector within the rentals segment. Monitor for any future competitive dynamics or additional state actions, but the core partnership is secured through 2030.

Executive Summary
Zillow Group resolved the FTC and multi-state antitrust lawsuit over its multifamily rental listings syndication partnership with Redfin via a stipulated final order. The partnership continues through at least June 2030, and both companies gain the ability to offer standalone multifamily advertising products. Zillow pays an immaterial amount for fees/costs and reaffirmed its Q3, Q4, and full-year 2026 financial outlook. This removes a significant regulatory overhang and provides strategic flexibility, though no financial terms were disclosed.
