CENTURY 21 Brand Unveils Next Chapter of "Joy of Home" with New Campaign Celebrating the Color--And Emotion--of Finding HomeApril 16, 2026 4:09 PM
PR Newswire (US)

MADISON, N.J., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CENTURY 21 Real Estate LLC today announced the next evolution of its brand platform with the launch of "Joy of Home: Chapter 2," a national advertising campaign designed to refocus the real estate conversation on what matters most to consumers: the joy, meaning, and possibility that come with finding a place to call home.







The campaign debuted this week at the brand's annual One21® Experience global conference in Las Vegas, where agents and brokers affiliated with the CENTURY 21® brand were introduced to a new :30 television spot, "Color of Happiness," and a suite of customizable marketing assets that allows its system members to bring the campaign to life in their local markets. The launch coincides with the brand's second year as an official partner of Major League Soccer (MLS), extending the campaign's reach to a fast-growing, next generation homebuyer audience.At the heart of "Joy of Home: Chapter 2" is the CENTURY 21 brand's unmistakable "legacy gold", a color that has symbolized the brand for more than 50 years and now serves as a visual shorthand for the emotional milestones that define homeownership."Last year, we established joy as our emotional territory," said Tori Keichinger, Vice President, Head of Marketing, Century 21 Real Estate LLC. "This year, we're activating it in a more consumer-centric way. While working with our advertising agency and speaking with consumers, we learned that our gold yard sign posts were seen as iconic and so closely identified with our brand that the gold-colored post alone, even without our sign attached to it, prompted people to immediately associate the color with the CENTURY 21 brand. Our 'legacy gold' isn't just a brand color; it's a signal. It marks the beginning of the home buying or selling journey and represents the joy our agents help deliver every day. This campaign honors where we've been while showing up for today's consumer in a modern, meaningful way."ABOUT THE "COLOR OF HAPPINESS" SPOTCreated by the CENTURY 21 brand's advertising agency of record, Siltanen & Partners, the :30 spot uses evocative imagery and narration to explore where gold appears in everyday life—from gardens and breakfast tables to nurseries, celebrations, and morning light. The story builds toward a simple truth: the joy of home is created through moments, and CENTURY 21 independent agents help make those moments possible.The spot will run across an integrated media plan that includes digital, social, and streaming placements, with prominent visibility during MLS matches on Apple TV, beginning this season.TURNING A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN INTO LOCAL CONNECTIONIn tandem with the new advertising, the CENTURY 21 brand unveiled a refreshed suite of marketing tools designed to help its approximately 11,000 offices across 79 countries and territories activate "Joy of Home: Chapter 2" in their own communities. Assets include:Revamped legacy gold yard signposts and panelsCustomizable versions of the TV spot for local useSocial and digital graphicsOut-of-home and billboard templatesTogether, the tools reinforce the brand's global story while empowering agents to express it in locally relevant ways.BUILDING MOMENTUM THROUGH MLS—AND BEYOND"Joy of Home: Chapter 2" builds on the momentum of the CENTURY 21 brand's multiyear partnership with MLS, which has already experienced an immediate impact. In its inaugural season, the CENTURY 21 brand saw an 11% increase in aided recall from the start to the finish of the 2025 season, outperforming the average increase in aided recall across all MLS partners in 2025.*The alignment continues to prove strategic: according to Vision Insights Decoder, MLS fans are 1.7x more likely than the general population to be in the market to buy a home within the next six months*. Beginning in 2026, all MLS matches are available on Apple TV, significantly expanding the campaign's global reach. With the 2026 season underway, MLS will resume play July 16-17 during the closing week of its global tournament with six matchups airing across Apple TV and FOX.With soccer's cultural relevance accelerating in the U.S., and its world championship tournament coming to North America in 2026, the CENTURY 21 brand is positioned at the intersection of sport, community, and home.PROVEN IMPACT FROM YEAR ONEThe original Dedicated to the Joy of Home® campaign debuted in late 2024 with a bold presence in Times Square and quickly became one of the most globally unified brand marketing efforts in the CENTURY 21 brand's history. Activations spanned digital, social, and out-of-home across several of its global markets, with localized executions from the U.S. to Italy, Albania, Australia, South Africa, and beyond.Earlier this year, TIME and Statista named Century 21 Real Estate one of the Most Iconic Companies in America and according to a 2025 consumer advertising study**:More than 80% of consumers who saw the Joy of Home advertising said they were more likely to consider Century 21 Real EstateThe brand maintained its position as the most recognized name in real estate and the leader in brand awareness for the 27th consecutive yearConsumers increasingly described the CENTURY 21 brand as a contemporary, relevant brand, reinforcing the campaign's modern appeal"The data confirmed what we were hearing from our network," Keichinger added. "Franchisees didn't just run the campaign—they made it their own. From billboards and community events to agent-led initiatives that celebrate service and connection, Joy of Home sparked real pride and participation. That enthusiasm is only growing in year two."*SOURCE: Vision Insights Decoder, 2025. Jan-Dec 2025.

Realogy Stock Looks Cheap as Housing Booms

By Shaina Mishkin

Updated May 17, 2021

Whether it’s lumber, appliances, or home-builder stocks, housing plays have been red-hot. But there’s an odd exception to the broader housing rally: Shares of the country’s largest real estate brokerage remain cheap.

Realogy Holdings (ticker: RLGY), owner of familiar brands like Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and Corcoran, has rebounded from pandemic lows but still trades at just a third of its all-time high. Realogy also operates a mortgage business that originates purchases and refinances home loans. The stock could be the one bargain left for investors in search of exposure to the housing boom.

As the spring home-buying season heats up, Realogy’s 327,500 affiliated agents are in high demand. Their commissions generate the bulk of Realogy’s revenue, which jumped 32% in the first quarter to $1.5 billion. Realogy’s agents represented buyers or sellers in an estimated 16% of all U.S. home sales over the past 12 months.


Despite the favorable backdrop, Realogy trades at just 6.3 times earnings estimates for the next 12 months, less than half its five-year average. That’s cheaper than Re/Max Holdings (RMAX), a smaller real estate franchise holding company that fetches 15.6 times forward earnings. And it’s significantly less expensive than more tech-forward residential housing play Zillow Group (Z), which changes hands at 87 times estimated earnings.

Realogy sales are forecast to rise 20% this year, to $7.5 billion, with earnings per share of $2.96, compared with a loss of $3.13 last year because of the Covid downturn.

Realogy is well aware of its perception as the legacy player in the fast-changing brokerage field. “Convincing people that a longtime market leader is actually leading the transformation of an industry is a very difficult thing,” Realogy CEO Ryan Schneider says.

The company is making progress, however, through investments in its digital title business, productivity tools for agents, and RealSure, its answer to home-flipping platforms for what’s become known as iBuying.

Nevertheless, Wall Street remains lukewarm on Realogy. Of the six analysts who cover the stock, just two rate it Buy or an equivalent, according to FactSet. The lack of enthusiasm could be an opportunity for investors, especially if the housing market stays hot.

“There are very few ways to directly benefit from home prices going up,” says Evercore’s Stephen Kim, the Street’s most bullish Realogy analyst. He has a Buy rating, with a price target of $29, or 68% above the stock’s recent close of $17.21.

Schneider says Realogy’s long history and nationwide footprint still provide a competitive advantage—but its long tenure is a double-edged sword. “Everybody just finds it easier to look at the new companies,” he says.

One reason is Realogy’s high debt load, driven by a long history of mergers, licensing agreements, spinoffs, and acquisitions, dating back to 1995. Realogy went public in 2012, with more than $7.5 billion in debt.

Now, the company is prioritizing debt paydown, says Charlotte Simonelli, Realogy’s chief financial officer, who joined the company in 2019. Debt has gradually fallen, to $3.9 billion at the end of the first quarter.

Realogy’s dependence on commissions has weighed on investor sentiment at a time when Zillow and newly public Compass (COMP) and Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) are pushing to disrupt the residential brokerage world. Compass is aggressively courting agents, while Opendoor and Zillow are building iBuyer models that buy and sell homes directly, cutting traditional agents out of the process.

Despite the growth of iBuyers, most home purchases involve a real estate agent. A recent National Association of Realtors survey finds that 88% of buyers used one to purchase a home—including 91% of buyers 30 and under.

Realogy skeptics point to the rising cost of agents. Competition, especially from Compass, is pushing Realogy to offer more generous commission splits. Simonelli says that renegotiating agents’ split of a home-sale profit is a cost of doing business. “We’re still growing margins, and the numbers speak for themselves,” she adds.

Realogy’s higher-end home sales should provide insulation from further disruption. The sale of homes priced at $1 million or above grew by more than 100% in March versus a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. Unlike other categories, the $1-million-plus home market has been spared a supply crunch—and it’s a sweet spot for several Realogy brands. “Our luxury success is a big part of our market-share gains across our Sotheby’s International Realty brand, our Corcoran brand, and our Coldwell Banker brand,” CEO Schneider says.

The average home sale represented by a Realogy brokerage agent was $608,960 in the first quarter—well above the national average. And the company’s luxury-market share could keep growing as home buying picks up in New York City, in particular, where Realogy describes itself as a market leader.

“New York City had the roughest ride through Covid, from a real estate standpoint,” Schneider says. “We believe in New York City, and we can now see it in the numbers,” he says.

Now investors just need to believe in Realogy’s stock.

It was a long time coming but we finally closed the gap from Nov. 1 ($8.31). Now we can set our sights on reaching a new 52 week high.
