Recently merged real estate websites Zillow and Trulia could lose hundreds of thousands of listings on April 7 now that partner Listhub, which is owned by News Corp., has terminated its contract with Trulia 16 months early. The decision to end the contract was triggered by the merger. Although Zillow Group filed a restraining order to keep the listings on its sites, a judge decided against Zillow this week. Zillow has been signing new contracts for direct MLS feeds and creating its own data platform in effort to minimize the impact of the lost listings. See everyone on Redfin, then? [SF Business Times]
