Merger Madness
Two giants unite, creating a $10B real estate behemoth
Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents
September 23, 2025
📈 Market Move:
Brokerage Blowout
Compass just dropped a bomb: they’re buying Anywhere in an all-stock deal, forming a $10B real estate powerhouse with ~340,000 agents across 120 countries. That’s not a brokerage—it’s basically an army of homes.
Anywhere brings heavy-hitters like Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Sotheby’s, and Corcoran to the table, doubling down on luxury. Compass already has its luxury game strong, and now combined, they’re basically cornering the high-end market.
The big question: private exclusives. Compass loves them, Anywhere has been hesitant. Put these two together and you could see a push that reshapes how homes are listed—and sold. Small brokerages? Keep an eye out. This mega-merger could tilt the market in a way we haven’t seen before.
