Closing Costs: A Critical Examination of the DOJ’s Proposed RealPage Settlement with David O. Fisher

Feb 18, 2026

In this conference call, David O. Fisher, Senior Counsel at the American Antitrust Institute, joined The Capitol Forum for a discussion on the Department of Justice’s proposed settlement with RealPage and its implications for algorithmic pricing enforcement. The conversation examined whether the settlement’s terms effectively prevent coordinated pricing through software-driven recommendations, the continued use of real-time competitor and owner-inputted data in pricing models, potential structural gaps that could allow coordinated practices to persist, and broader considerations for strengthening antitrust enforcement and oversight in digital markets.
