MRED is enforcing its data rules to protect the real estate market and put consumers and agents first.

This isn’t about limiting how homes are seen—it’s about making sure homeowners and agents have options. Every home and seller is different. Some homes do best with public marketing right away, while others need privacy or a slower rollout before going public.

These choices should be made by homeowners and their agents—not by a single national website.

People can still find homes on brokerage sites, agent sites, MLS platforms, and by working with real estate professionals. Real estate is much bigger than just one website.

More competition leads to better results for consumers. A healthy market offers many choices, diverse business models, and allows agents and companies to stand out through their service and expertise.

Remember, Zillow is a business, not public property. No single company should control how every homeowner sells their home.

Real estate is built on local expertise and trusted relationships. We support rules that protect these values and keep the market open and focused on consumers.

For these reasons, we support MRED.
