Anywhere Real Estate stock completes its Compass merger

Anywhere Real Estate stock completed its merger with Compass on January 9, 2026, converting the former brokerage company into a wholly owned Compass subsidiary. The transaction changed the security from a standalone listed share into merger consideration tied to Compass Class A stock.

Merger changes shareholder rights

According to StockTitan, each outstanding Anywhere share was converted into the right to receive 1.436 Compass Class A shares, with cash paid for any fractional share. Former Anywhere shareholders therefore moved from direct ownership in Anywhere to an equity interest represented through Compass.

The filing also states that Anywhere notified the NYSE after the merger and that trading in its common stock was suspended as delisting and deregistration steps began. That structural change is the central fact for anyone still searching for the HOUS security under its former exchange identity.

Vote showed broad participation

Before completion, a special meeting represented 81,752,977 shares, equal to 72.90 percent of the 112,130,696 shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of December 12, 2025, according to StockTitan. The participation figure provides a concrete measure of the shareholder base involved in approving the transaction.

The conversion ratio, rather than a new operating forecast, now defines the economic link between the former Anywhere security and Compass. The ratio also explains why historical HOUS references can differ from the post-merger ownership position.

Standalone listing ends

Anywhere Real Estate operated residential real estate services through franchise, brokerage, relocation, title and settlement activities. Its investor-relations site now presents Compass materials, while the merger filing describes the company as a wholly owned subsidiary after the January 9, 2026 closing.
