"The court found the plaintiffs' claims that they could not access information in the MLS anywhere else to be misleading and contradicted by reality."
"NAR's integrated structure is essential to the value we provide our members, and we remain committed to policies that promote competition, transparency, and value for brokers and consumers alike."
"In November of 2025, NAR unveiled a series of MLS policy changes, including allowing each MLS to set its own access and membership rules."
The Hardy suit filed in August 2024 claims that Michigan's requirement for agents and brokers to be members of NAR and local boards for MLS access is an antitrust violation. In January 2025, a court dismissed the lawsuit, stating the plaintiffs' claims about MLS access were misleading. NAR expressed satisfaction with the ruling, asserting its policies promote competition. In November 2025, NAR announced MLS policy changes allowing individual MLSs to set their own membership rules. Similar lawsuits have been dismissed in other states, reinforcing NAR's position.
