Anywhere Real Estate ate ( (HOUS) ) just unveiled an update.

On September 22, 2025, Anywhere Real Estate Inc. entered into a merger agreement under which Velocity Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass, Inc., will merge with and into Anywhere, with Anywhere surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass. The companies cleared a key regulatory hurdle when the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period expired on January 2, 2026, and the transaction now hinges on remaining closing conditions, including shareholder approval from Anywhere’s stockholders to adopt the merger agreement and from Compass’s stockholders for related share issuances, with completion expected shortly after all conditions are satisfied, potentially reshaping ownership structure and strategic positioning for both firms in the residential real estate market.

The most recent analyst rating on (HOUS) stock is a Hold with a $14.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anywhere Real Estate ate stock, see the HOUS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on HOUS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HOUS is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance: ongoing losses, high leverage (debt-to-equity 1.93), and negative free cash flow. Offsetting this, technicals show a constructive uptrend with positive MACD and price above key moving averages. The latest earnings call was mixed—strategic upside and growth trends, but suspended guidance and EBITDA pressure—while valuation remains challenged due to unprofitability (negative P/E).
