Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (ISIN US0373561066) completed its merger with Compass, converting each eligible share into 1.436 Compass Class A shares plus cash for fractional shares, according to StockTitan. The transaction changed the status of HOUS from a listed operating company into a wholly owned Compass subsidiary.

Compass merger changes the security

The closing followed the January 7, 2026 special meeting, where holders representing 81,752,977 shares, or 72.90 percent of the shares entitled to vote, were present. One merger-related proposal received 81,165,471 votes for, 141,490 against and 446,016 abstentions, according to StockTitan.

The conversion ratio is the key investor takeaway: eligible holders received 1.436 Compass shares for each Anywhere share, rather than retaining a separate publicly traded HOUS security. The filing also states that former Anywhere shareholders retained rights only to receive the merger consideration.

Brands remain inside Compass

Anywhere brought brands including Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Corcoran, ERA, Sotheby's International Realty and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate into the Compass structure. A September 19, 2026 transaction overview valued the deal at USD 10.0 billion including assumed debt and cited historical Anywhere revenue of USD 5.7 billion for September 2025, according to Multiples VC.

The combined platform is now part of a broader consolidation trend in residential brokerage. On September 27, 2026, the Washington Examiner described Compass as using private-exclusives strategy after acquiring Anywhere, linking the deal to a wider dispute over access to property listings.

HOUS listing status after closing

Anywhere notified the NYSE that trading in its common stock was suspended and began delisting and deregistration steps after the merger, according to StockTitan. The January 9, 2026 closing therefore makes the conversion ratio and Compass share ownership more relevant than a standalone HOUS price quotation.
