Zillow and Redfin settle FTC antitrust case over their rental listings partnership

Zillow 与 Redfin 就租赁房源合作的反垄断案与美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）达成和解

The FTC and Zillow have announced a settlement that ends the case alleging that a 2025 “partnership” between Zillow and Redfin violated antitrust laws. The FTC had alleged Zillow agreed to pay Redfin to syndicate its listings, while Redfin would end its own advertising contracts and promise not to compete with Zillow for multifamily listings.

美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）与 Zillow 宣布达成和解，结束了针对 Zillow 与 Redfin 2025 年“合作关系”违反反垄断法的指控。FTC 此前指控称，Zillow 同意向 Redfin 付费以联合发布其房源信息，而作为交换，Redfin 将终止其自身的广告合同，并承诺不再在多户住宅房源领域与 Zillow 竞争。

The FTC’s settlement proposal allows Redfin to continue syndicating rental listings from Zillow “unencumbered by the anticompetitive restraints” in the original deal, but also requires Redfin to restart its own rental listings advertising business, which it wound down as part of the partnership.

FTC 的和解方案允许 Redfin 继续联合发布来自 Zillow 的租赁房源，且“不受原协议中反竞争限制的影响”，但同时也要求 Redfin 重启其此前作为合作一部分而缩减的租赁房源广告业务。

Daniel Guarnera, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition, said the deal “delivers better, quicker, more certain results for both renters and property management companies than we would have been able to achieve after prevailing at trial.” The state attorneys general of Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Virginia and Washington also agreed to the proposed settlement.

FTC 竞争局局长 Daniel Guarnera 表示，该协议“为租房者和物业管理公司提供了比我们在审判中胜诉后所能实现的结果更好、更快、更确定的保障”。亚利桑那州、康涅狄格州、纽约州、弗吉尼亚州和华盛顿州的州检察长也同意了这一拟议的和解方案。

This ending also follows other recent settlements from the Trump administration in high-profile cases of companies behaving badly, like the Live Nation-Ticketmaster case, and its case against Realpage.

此次和解也是继特朗普政府近期在其他备受瞩目的企业违规案件（如 Live Nation-Ticketmaster 案以及针对 Realpage 的案件）中达成和解后的又一案例。
