https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/15/economy/nar-realtor-commissio...No question there will be big changes coming up in real estate sales and the model. 

There's 3 or 4 threads going on in the forum regarding the NAR settlement.

This mainly boils down to the fact that if co-op is not listed on MLS then all buyers agents will have buyers sign an agency agreement prior to showing properties. These agency agreements say if seller pays less then ...

NAR has always said commissions are negotiable. 

However, I don't wish to pay a ton of fees - just to have MLS access last year I had to to pay CAR+NAR+Local Association+ MLS fees.

The National Association of Realtors know as NAR 'settled' the class action lawsuits over conspired commissions and essentially surrendered with far reaching impacts on the industry and real estate investors.

For those unaware just this morning NAR agreed to settle its antitrust suit, beginning in July sellers will no longer pay buyers agents.

You have expenses such MLS dues, NAR dues, Insurance, additional Broker fees, etc.

With the NAR economists expecting rates at 6% by year end, I think people seem to be less interested in waiting for rates to come down, knowing that a year might only save them a point.
