Today, a federal judge ruled that Zillow cannot ban our sellers' listings. Every MRED listing Zillow banned has to go back up and Zillow cannot ban any MRED listings going forward inclusive of PLN listings.

Zillow's own attorney said the ruling gave them nothing.

Why was Zillow fighting so hard to ban listings. Because they want to control how sellers and their agents market homes. The judge’s ruling will reverberate across the country and eliminate Zillow’s ability to ban listings. The judges decision preserves seller choice.

Same market. Very different results.

The numbers speak for themselves. If you are searching for a home in Lincoln Park on Zillow right now, you are only seeing a small fraction of the market, missing hundreds of homes.

Before the Iran war began, mortgage rates had fallen below 6% for the first time in 3.5 years, setting up a promising spring housing market. Since then, rates have risen five consecutive weeks to 6.46%, the highest in seven months, adding $117 to the monthly payment on a median-priced home.

Inventory is finally making a real comeback — and this is a conversation you need to be having consistently this year. 💪

While growth varies by market, some states are already back to inventory levels the market would call normal. That matters for your buyers.

More homes means more choices, less pressure, and a better chance to find something at a payment they’re actually comfortable with.

This isn’t true everywhere yet, but the direction is clear. It’s the most buyer-friendly setup in years — and your database is watching.

Share the visuals that tell the story and stay in front of the conversation. 🔥

Keep reminding potential buyers what’s changing in your local market, and they’ll turn to you when they’re ready.
