Federal regulators alleged that a $100 million deal between Redfin and Zillow stifled competition for apartment listings.
The FTC alleges the online real estate firms agreed not to compete against each other in the market for placing rental housing ads.
The annual income needed to afford even a basic home in the U.S. has risen sharply since the pandemic, a new report shows.
"Even places that historically have been affordable now need six figures," according to Redfin's chief economist.
As the spring homebuying season approaches, affordability is at its lowest point in history, one economist said.
A new report from Redfin found that homeowners are seeing a significant decline in their home values, dropping a total of $2.3 trillion between June and December of 2022. Taylor Marr, deputy chief economist at Redfin, joins CBS News to discuss the report.
