Whether it’s MBA (reported yesterday) or Freddie Mac (reported today), the weekly surveys have an inherent reporting lag–that is, they are published at least a day after data collection ends. In addition, they represent an average of 5 business days.  This means that the weekly mortgage rate would be reported as 6.2% if the first 4 days were 6.0% and the 5th day jumped to 7%.

This is most frustrating for consumers when the present moment’s rates are higher than the weekly average. Thankfully, today’s case is the opposite. The most recent long-term rate high occurred on March 27th, and we’ve moved noticeably lower since then. Today didn’t add much to that move, but it nonetheless brought the average lender to the lowest levels since March 18th.

• Compass International Holdings’ unique inventory to appear on Redfin.com, with the potential to bring more than 500,000 additional home listings to market.
• Integrated search, agent and mortgage experience designed to make the homebuying process straightforward with less friction.

DETROIT and NEW YORK – February 26, 2026 – Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), the Detroit-based homeownership platform, the largest residential lender and mortgage servicer in the nation, and Compass, Inc. d/b/a Compass International Holdings (NYSE: COMP), a global real estate services company, today announced a three-year strategic alliance aimed at expanding home listing inventory to create a significantly enhanced and affordable home buying and selling experience for American families.

Compass International Holdings’ ‘Coming Soon’ listings will appear immediately on Redfin, with ‘Private Exclusive’ properties to follow – expanding exposure for sellers and increasing choice for buyers. This unique inventory has the potential to bring more than 500,000 additional listings to the Redfin platform through the combined reach of Compass International Holdings’ global network of real estate professionals, including @properties, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, CENTURY 21, Christie’s International Real Estate, Coldwell Banker, Compass, Corcoran, ERA and Sotheby’s International Realty.

Compass’ unique listings will be featured on Redfin.com and in the Redfin app where they will draw nearly 2 billion visits in 2026 alone, dramatically expanding visibility for sellers and bringing more buyers into the market.

Rocket, Redfin and Compass International Holdings agree that offering sellers broader flexibility in how they introduce their homes to the market lowers the barrier of entry for sellers to list their homes, resulting in a larger inventory of listings for buyers. By connecting home search, real estate professionals and Rocket Mortgage financing into one integrated platform, the partnership will create a seamless homebuying and selling experience.

“When barriers are removed and supply grows, affordability improves,” said Varun Krishna, CEO of Rocket Companies. “Today’s challenge is friction in the homebuying process and a lack of inventory. By bringing search, agents and financing into one connected platform, we can help more sellers enter the market, reduce complexity for buyers and make homeownership more attainable.”

“We believe listing agents should be connected directly with interested buyers, and sellers should have the freedom to list their homes in the manner and method they choose without fear of misleading insights that damage its value,” said Robert Reffkin, Chairman and CEO of Compass International Holdings. “Now, our real estate professionals can give sellers the choices they deserve, with increased exposure to 60 million potential buyers.”

In addition to expanded exposure on Redfin, the alliance includes:

• High-Intent Lead Pipeline: Over the term of the partnership, Compass International Holdings real estate professionals will gain access to more than 1 million buyer inquiries generated through Redfin, giving them more opportunities to build relationships and support buyers as they move toward a purchase. Redfin agents will benefit from increased consumer traffic driven by a broader selection of homes — creating more opportunities to engage buyers earlier in their journey.
• Mortgage Savings: Rocket Mortgage will strengthen affordability through preferred pricing for clients of Compass. This includes a one-percentage-point interest-rate reduction for the first year of their loan or a lender credit of up to $6,000 reducing upfront costs or first-year payments.

Rocket Mortgage offerings will also be embedded into Compass International Holdings’ proprietary platform, further simplifying the digital homeownership experience.

The complaint, filed Nov. 7 in federal court in Seattle, alleges that Zillow violated federal and state consumer protection laws by creating a system of “kickbacks” and incentives for agents, linking Zillow Home Loans referrals to leads.

Specifically, the lawsuit claims Zillow’s actions violate the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the Washington Consumer Protection Act, as well as aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty by real estate agents.

A closer look at the allegations: Zillow is accused of pressuring agents in its Premier Agent and Flex programs to steer buyers to Zillow Home Loans for pre-approval. Agents who sent more clients to Zillow’s mortgage arm were rewarded with extra or higher-quality leads, while those who didn’t could lose access to the lucrative Flex program, the filing claims.

Buyers, meanwhile, were allegedly steered toward Zillow Home Loans without realizing their agent’s business depended on it. The complaint states that “Zillow’s system harms consumers, who are robbed of the disinterested advice of their fiduciary real estate agent, and instead are unknowingly steered towards ZHL’s limited and often uncompetitive mortgage products.”

How the ‘super app’ strategy ties in: The filing connects the alleged conduct to Zillow’s broader growth strategy, citing its February 2025 investor materials that describe a “housing super app” designed to “capture every stage of the home-buying journey on a single platform.”

When the company released its Q2 earnings in August, CEO Jeremy Wacksman told Real Estate News that Zillow’s growth is being fueled by bundling services and capturing more of each customer’s transaction. About 27% of buyers  connect with “enhanced market partner” agents referred by Zillow — relationships that often lead to ZHL, Wacksman said. He added that the company plans to raise that share to 35% by the end of 2025 and eventually 75% as it builds out its “super app” experience.

Real Estate News has reached out to Zillow and will update this story with their response.

Who’s behind the lawsuit: Plaintiff Araba Armstrong, a first-time buyer from Anchorage, Alaska, says she was connected with an agent through Zillow’s platform and, “at that agent’s direction, obtained mortgage pre-approval and subsequently a mortgage loan from Zillow Home Loans.” The complaint adds that she “was not informed of Zillow’s quotas, incentives, or requirements linking the agent’s access to Zillow leads to referrals or pre-approvals with ZHL.”

The case was filed by Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC, a Seattle-based class-action firm, and DiCello Levitt LLP, a consumer-focused firm with offices in Chicago and New York. They are seeking class certification on behalf of “all persons in the United States who were referred to Zillow Home Loans by a Participating Agent, and obtained a mortgage loan from Zillow Home Loans in connection with the purchase of residential property.”

It’s not the first time Zillow has been accused of RESPA violations. In 2023, the company settled a class-action suit related to its mortgage co-marketing program, which predated Zillow Home Loans and was allegedly under investigation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Zillow maintained it did nothing wrong, and the CFPB concluded its investigation without pursuing enforcement action.

Echoes of another recent class action: Hagens Berman and Cohen Milstein, the same law firms behind the landmark commission lawsuits against major brokerages and the National Association of Realtors, called out Zillow’s Flex program in a suit filed in September — but for different reasons.

That case accuses Zillow of inflating homebuying costs through Flex, which charges partner agents up to 40% of their commission and allegedly keeps overall commissions “high and inflexible.” Zillow disputes the allegations, saying the complaint “fundamentally misrepresents how Zillow operates” and pledging to “vigorously defend” its business practices.
