Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), a major Multiple Listing Service (MLS), has suspended its listing feeds to Zillow and Trulia. The suspension, effective immediately, is due to MRED's assertion that Zillow committed a material breach of their license agreements. MRED specifically alleges that Zillow has refused to display all the listings that MRED supplies through their data feeds. This dispute has reportedly escalated and involves real estate brokerage Compass. The core of the disagreement appears to be Zillow's display practices for the listings it receives from MLSs like MRED. The suspension means that properties listed through MRED will no longer be automatically available on Zillow and Trulia, potentially affecting visibility for sellers and the information available to buyers on those platforms.
