Seattle and Austin, Texas – September 19, 2026 -- Zillow and Realtor.com have simultaneously launched Preview, a pre-market listing feature giving buyers on both platforms identical early access to homes before they hit the MLS, without requiring any brokerage relationship or special login.

The rollout, first announced as a collaboration in May, marks what the companies call the largest pre-market syndication effort in U.S. residential real estate. Listings are labeled as Preview on both sites and appear to buyers at the same time regardless of platform.

More than 400 brokerages have already enrolled in Zillow Preview

Zillow said over 400 brokerage partners are participating, including Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, HomeServices of America, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, United Real Estate, Engel & Völkers and Side, with listing volume continuing to grow.

New York – September 19, 2026 -- Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) has completed the acquisition of 34 bank branch properties from Trustmark Corporation, expanding its Real Assets net lease portfolio across five U.S. states.

Blue Owl adds 34 net lease properties spanning Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas

The deal, executed through funds managed by Blue Owl's Real Assets platform, gives the alternative asset manager contractual rental income from an investment-grade counterparty. Trustmark carries a BBB+ credit rating from S&P and simultaneously entered into long-term, triple net leases for all 34 properties.

Leases run 15 years with three five-year renewal options

Each lease has an initial term of 15 years, with three consecutive five-year renewal options attached. The structure locks in rental income for Blue Owl while allowing Trustmark to retain uninterrupted operational use of the branches.

New dimensions include quartile, median, and risk-bucket performance views, plus benchmarking support extended across both U.S. and Canadian advisor populations. Home office leaders gain dedicated views into top- and bottom-performing advisor segments.

Milpitas, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- Teledyne LeCroy has released the Summit Z74 Protocol Exerciser, the industry's first standalone test tool for PCIe 7.0 technology, targeting the accelerating validation needs of AI, high-performance computing, cloud, and advanced storage systems.

PCIe 7.0 doubles data rates to 128.0 GT/s, straining existing validation tools

The PCIe 7.0 specification doubles the raw data rate of PCIe 6.0 from 64.0 GT/s to 128.0 GT/s, delivering up to 512 GB/s of bi-directional bandwidth in a x16 configuration. At these speeds, PAM4 signaling and FLIT-based protocol architectures demand test equipment capable of generating precise protocol traffic and providing deterministic control over link behavior.

Irvine, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- U.S. lenders repossessed 5,794 properties through completed foreclosures in August 2026, a 42 percent jump from a year earlier and the sharpest annual increase among all foreclosure metrics tracked by ATTOM.

New York – September 19, 2026 -- accessiBe has launched Code Agent, a tool that reviews GitHub pull requests against WCAG 2.2 AA standards and proposes inline fixes before code merges into production. The capability is live in beta for eligible accessFlow customers.

Code Agent flags the exact line causing an accessibility issue inside the pull request

The tool runs automatically when a pull request opens or updates, or can be triggered manually. It writes a suggested fix directly in the PR, similar to a teammate's review comment, while developers retain full control to accept, reject, or discuss the change in the thread. Nothing merges without developer review.

Moraga, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- Atombeam's Neurpac data-compaction technology achieved a 75% reduction in LiDAR data volume during testing on SIMSY's private cellular network, a result that will now be offered to SIMSY's enterprise customers moving large real-time data sets.

Neurpac cuts LiDAR payloads by 75% in SIMSY network tests

SIMSY, which operates its own cellular core network for enterprise device deployments, confirmed the 75% compaction rate during trials of Neurpac, addressing a bandwidth constraint that had previously blocked efficient LiDAR transmission over cellular links. Alex Taylor, CEO and co-founder of SIMSY, said the uplink has historically been the bottleneck in cellular networks, offering far less capacity than downlink, which is exactly where large data types like LiDAR become stuck.
