Here's what we're breaking down:
⚖️ Zillow in Court — A new class-action lawsuit takes direct aim at Flex and Premier Agent. If it sticks, Zillow's lead-gen empire could be in serious jeopardy.
🏢 Compass Buys Anywhere for $1.6B — The biggest brokerage merger in recent memory. Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Sotheby's, and more under Compass' roof. But the real question: is NAR the biggest loser in this power shift?
📉 Buyer's Market 2025 — Data shows this summer was the strongest buyer's market in over a decade. Is the tide finally turning for buyers?
🏦 The Fed Cuts Rates (But Mortgage Rates Didn't Budge) — The Fed made its move, but borrowing costs aren't dropping as fast as expected. We unpack why.
📊 Market Data Check
Home prices ticked up 0.2% in August
Housing supply dropped at the fastest pace in 2 years
Mortgage demand stalled after a short-lived refi boom
🏠 Rent & Lifestyle Trends
Single-family rent growth is finally showing weakness
High housing costs are forcing tough choices: delaying kids, giving up pets, and reshaping family plans
