The National Association of REALTORS® has agreed to pay $52.25 million to resolve nationwide homebuyer claims tied to buyer-agent commission litigation from the Tuccori et al. v. At World Properties et al class-action lawsuit, the organization announced Friday. 

Zillow said the response in the three weeks since Preview’s launch demonstrates that agents and their clients prefer “broad, public pre-market exposure” over private listing networks.

Who is buying homes in America? According to a new report from the National Association of REALTORS® on homeownership trends from 2014 to 2024, the answer often comes down to your job.

Homes that feature lifestyle-driven amenities and move-in finishes are selling for as much as 5.4% more than expected, or approximately $19,500 extra, on the typical home, according to a new report from Zillow. 

The deal follows fellow defendant Keller Williams Realty’s $20 million settlement. 

“Zillow Preview was just announced, but the signal from the industry is undeniable,” said Jeremy Wacksman, CEO of Zillow.

Nationally, home sales in the 51 metro areas surveyed by REMAX declined 3.2% year over year and rose 11.1% month over month. 

The agreement follows REMAX, HomeServices of America, Side, Keller Williams and United Real Estate agreeing to a similar agreement with Zillow.

Regionally, pending sales rose in the Midwest, South and West, and declined in the Northeast on a month-over-month basis.

All participating brokerages will have access to Zillow Preview, which is structured to operate within local MLS frameworks.
