Zillow is facing a series of pivotal lawsuits alleging anticompetitive and deceptive practices in the real estate market. According to reports, these legal challenges focus on Zillow's alleged monopoly in the U.S. residential real estate online search sector, controlling about 66% of the market.

Allegations also include deceptive user interface practices that mislead buyers into contacting Zillow-affiliated agents and contentious listing policies that impact market entry strategies.
