 approval of the Anywhere Settlement, objecting to the release of buy-side claims in that settlement.Homie Technology v. National Association of Realtors, et al. (U.S. District Court for the District of Utah). On August 22, 2024, Homie Technology filed a complaint against NAR, the Company, several other real estate brokerages and franchisors and an MLS, seeking damages and injunctive relief, alleging that the defendants had conspired to exclude Homie and other new market entrants from the market for real estate brokerage services. The alleged conspiracy includes creating a market structure that facilitates boycotts of new entrants, including through the implementation and enforcement of NAR rules governing the operation of MLSs, which Homie claims to be exclusionary. Homie asserts violations of federal and state antitrust laws along with a common law claim of economic harm. The Company's motion to dismiss was granted and the action was dismissed with prejudice by the court on July 15, 2025. Homie filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal on August 7, 2025.McFall v.
