Net income soared to $55M, and they’re projecting record 2026 EBITDA, yet AI-driven cost cuts and a $800M Zonda acquisition (closing by year-end) aren’t enough to calm nerves. New sales teams, a revamped Homes.com marketing tier, and a new CFO are on deck to steer the ship. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Zillow Flex Lawsuit Gets Thrown Out | Real Estate News

Zillow’s Flex program is under fire in a high-profile lawsuit, but a judge has thrown out key claims, calling the evidence insufficient and saying Zillow was transparent about its model.
