Zillow Group Inc. and Rocket Companies Inc.’s Redfin are set to face a trial in August in a case brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission over an apartment-listing partnership. According to Bloomberg, the FTC challenges the rental-listing arrangement, and a Virginia judge denies the government’s request to reach a quick decision, allowing the matter to proceed to trial next month. The case centers on whether the partnership violates U.S. antitrust or consumer-protection rules, with the FTC arguing that the agreement is problematic and the companies preparing to defend their arrangement.
Seeking Alpha’s report also states that Zillow and Redfin are expected to face the FTC in an August trial, consistent with Bloomberg’s timing and procedural update. Neither outlet indicates the likely outcome or provides additional details beyond the trial schedule and the court decision to deny early resolution.
