Your home search app just became a hostage in a billion-dollar fight — and nobody told you.
Chicago’s MLS cut Zillow off last week. Nashville’s doing it June 1st. When Chicago pulled the feed, more than half the listings disappeared from the app overnight.
Here’s the part that matters for you: Zillow was never the source. It’s a copy of the MLS — the system your local agent actually works from. And right now Zillow, Compass, and the MLSs are in court fighting over who controls that data and how your home is even allowed to be marketed.
While the giants fight, you’re scrolling a list that might be missing half the homes on the Treasure Coast.
It hasn’t reached Florida’s MLSs yet. But betting your biggest purchase — or your biggest sale — on a portal that can go dark overnight isn’t a plan. It’s a gamble.
