Overview

• The court authorized Zillow to obtain discrete categories of documents between Compass and Anywhere about the lawsuit and the expected impact of the Listing Access Standards, while denying a request to depose CEO Robert Reffkin.
• Zillow urged the judge to decide the preliminary‑injunction motion without live testimony or to postpone the scheduled November 17 hearing, with supplemental briefs due October 31 and November 12.
• Expedited discovery cited by Zillow indicates Compass continues to use its 3‑Phased Marketing Strategy and private exclusives, including testimony from Reffkin and an internal email encouraging agents to promote those options.
• Evidence highlighted by Zillow includes a roughly 40% rise in Compass’s share price since late June enforcement and testimony that the policy is not a meaningful driver of agent retention risk.
• Zillow argues Compass’s Section 2 claims fail and asserts procompetitive justifications for its 24‑hour rule, which bars listings publicly marketed for more than one business day before MLS, IDX or VOW display.
