National Association of Realtors escapes US antitrust claims challenging rules

( July 16, 2025, 00:14 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: A US judge dismissed Homie Technology's US antitrust lawsuit with prejudice. Homie alleged that the adoption and enforcement of the National Association of Realtors' "Exclusionary Rules and Policies" by defendants, including HomeServices of America and Anywhere Real Estate, reflected concerted action between horizontal competitors and constituted agreements among competing real estate brokers.
