Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), one of the largest multiple listing service providers in the US, said it will suspend property listing data feeds to Zillow Group platforms, including Zillow.com and Trulia.com, over alleged violations of licensing agreements and platform rules. The company stated that Zillow was informed about the compliance deadline, which closes on May 19 at midnight CDT. MRED also said Zillow has filed a federal lawsuit but has not yet responded to its requests regarding compliance. The move could impact how property listings from MRED’s network appear across Zillow-operated platforms in key US housing markets.

The company stated that it had informed Zillow that the compliance window would close on May 19 at midnight CDT. According to MRED, Zillow has not responded to its requests related to compliance, even after the issue was raised earlier.
MRED, which operates one of the largest multiple listing service (MLS) networks in the United States, provides property listing information to brokers, agents, and online real estate platforms. Zillow Group relies on listing feeds from MLS providers across various regions to display residential property data on its digital platforms.
The dispute comes at a time when data access, listing transparency, and digital distribution rights have become increasingly important within the US residential property market. MLS operators typically maintain strict rules regarding how listing information can be displayed, shared, and monetised by third-party platforms.
MRED also said Zillow has filed a federal lawsuit connected to the matter. However, the company maintained that Zillow had yet to respond to its compliance-related requests despite ongoing communication between both parties.
Zillow Group, which operates several online real estate brands including Zillow and Trulia, has been involved in industry-wide discussions in recent years around listing standards, property syndication practices, and online display policies. The company’s platforms are widely used by homebuyers, brokers, landlords, and developers across the US housing market.
If the suspension takes effect after the compliance deadline, property listings sourced through MRED may no longer appear on Zillow-operated websites until the issue is resolved. Industry observers believe such actions can affect listing visibility for agents and brokers operating within the MLS network, particularly in competitive housing markets.
The development also highlights ongoing tensions between MLS operators and large property technology companies over control of listing data, usage rights, and platform compliance standards.
