Overview
- REcore filed a breach‑of‑contract lawsuit in San Bernardino County against Homes.com, parent CoStar Group, and CoStar‑owned broker Ten-X, seeking monetary damages.
- The complaint says CoStar and Homes.com signed a license effective January 2024 that required roughly $2 per CRMLS listing record displayed when used for monetization, but they failed to pay the full amounts.
- REcore asserts the defendants triggered monetization fees through Homes.com’s Boost advertising program and substantial listing traffic yet did not remit the fees.
- REcore will terminate Homes.com and HomesPro feeds carrying CRMLS listing records on November 1, 2025, while offering brokers an optional no‑cost Participant’s Data Return feed to send their own listings.
- Planned 2025 distributions to CRMLS listing brokers are delayed to 2026 because of the dispute, and CoStar did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
