Move’s Realtor.com accounted for a 31% share of real estate portal visitors in the first three months of 2026, according to ComScore. That’s 6x more than Homes.com and 3x more than Redfin.
Despite a colder-than-expected spring housing market, Realtor.com leaders this week signaled that the company has entered a “renaissance” and celebrated a pre-marketing deal with Zillow, while also revealing that the portal’s revenue has increased in early 2026.
Move’s Realtor.com accounted for 31% of real estate portal visits in the first three months of 2026, according to Comscore. According to News Corp’s earnings report, the company’s revenue was $148 million, up 10% year-over-year and its sixth consecutive quarter of growth, making it six times more than Homes.com and three times more than Redfin.
The gain was driven by increased sales of Move’s premium product, RealPRO Select, as well as revenue growth from seller services, new homes and rentals. Real estate revenue increased 15% and accounted for 77% of Move’s total revenue.
According to Comscore, Realtor.com averaged 261 million monthly site visits during the same period, accounting for 31% of the market visit share, compared to 12% for Redfin and 6% for Homes.com. The portal also averages 5.3 visits per unique user, which is higher than Zillow’s 3.5, Redfin’s 2.9, and Homes.com’s 1.9, according to Move’s internal data. The amount of lead increased by 6% compared to the previous year.

In a blog post published Wednesday, CEO Damian Eales highlighted the partnership with Zillow, which will make Zillow preview listings available on Realtor.com starting this summer, allowing pre-market homes to be offered on both platforms without the need for special logins or broker relationships.

Eales also noted the March launch of the Realtor.com app on ChatGPT and the rollout of a Market Clock tool designed to show whether the local market is favorable to buyers or sellers.
News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson said in an earnings call that the growth was due to platform improvements and a shift to premium listings.
“The resurgence of Realtors actually preceded the overall recovery of the U.S. housing market,” Thomson said. “The team has done a great job building the foundation, cleaning up the software, and benefiting from targeting more high-end homes.”

Thomson pointed to existing home sales in March of 3.98 million, well below the historical average, and argued that pent-up demand is an opportunity for the future. Chief Financial Officer Lavanya Chandrashekhar said revenue per existing home sale is now 20 per cent above 2022 levels, which she added was an all-time peak year for the housing market.
“As the real estate market returns, we are in a position to make the most of it,” Chandrashekhar said.
