Zillow Group Inc. has published an analysis revealing that private home listings in Chicago are reinforcing racial segregation in the housing market. The study found that homes in majority-white neighborhoods are more than twice as likely to be listed privately compared to those in majority-non-white areas-7.9% versus 3.4%. Zillow warns that the expansion of private listing networks by large brokerages could further limit transparency and fairness, exacerbating inequities and digital redlining. The report calls for greater openness in home listings to ensure all buyers have equal access to available properties.
