Realtor.com launched in 1996 as the official listings site of the National Association of Realtors, operated by Homestore, later renamed Move, Inc.
The portal pioneered online home search but ceded traffic leadership to Zillow through the 2010s, remaining the number-two US portal on the strength of its MLS-direct listing accuracy.
News Corp acquired Move in November 2014 for $950 million, anchoring its Digital Real Estate Services segment alongside majority-owned REA Group in Australia.
