Zillow vs MRED: Data Blackout Legal Battle

Zillow faces legal battle over data access: Zillow, the popular real estate platform, is in a courtroom fight with Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) over access to property listings. MRED, the dominant multiple listing service in the Chicago area, cut off Zillows data feed in May, following Zillows rule change in April that excluded selectively marketed listings. Zillow claims this move is causing irreparable harm to their business, agents, and the public. The dispute escalated when MREDs CEO threatened to suspend Zillows feed if they didnt display certain Compass listings nationwide, which Zillow refused. Zillow accuses MRED and Compass of a group boycott conspiracy. The legal battle is ongoing, with Zillow seeking a temporary restraining order to regain access to the data feed.
