Our spring real estate market is well underway, despite lingering rains that delayed the launch of many listings and exacerbated our region's already historically low levels of inventory. Buyers have adjusted to higher interest rates and we're seeing strong demand for this limited supply, with the most activity centered around properties that are priced well and show well.
Real estate has featured prominently in the news in recent weeks, and we're following that conversation closely. As always, we encourage you to call us if you have any questions or if we can be of help in any way.

Recent Real Estate Headlines?
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you may have seen or heard, there is a proposed settlement by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). While the settlement still requires final approval, there have been plenty of headlines in the media causing confusion.
To clarify some of the misinformation about the settlement,
we want to provide a few facts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sellers retain, as they always have, the discretion to offer compensation to buyers' brokers. The proposed settlement does not prohibit their ability to do so.
|
|
|
|
Commissions have always been and will continue to be negotiated through transparent conversations with our clients. We believe strongly in transparency around broker compensation.
|
|
|
|
The proposed settlement would require that every buyer represented by an NAR-affiliated agent sign a Buyer Representation Agreement outlining the relationship between the buyer and broker before touring a property, something that has already been required in many states for over a decade.
|
|
|
|
Buyers deserve representation at every income level. Our experience has shown that transactions flow more smoothly when there is professional representation on each side, creating open lines of communication which benefit all parties involved.
|
|
|
|
We work hard to provide value to our clients. As a result, we will continue to encourage a transparent commission conversation that reflects the time, effort, expertise, and support we invest in each transaction.
|
|
|
|
Compass is fully prepared to adopt the changes laid out as part of the settlement. We see these updates as being positive both for our clients and for the brokerage community, as they provide additional transparency and clarity and will encourage the most professional agents to thrive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If approved, the terms of this settlement will undoubtedly impact certain facets of the residential real estate industry. Our hope is that these changes will provide an opportunity to enhance the professionalism of the industry across the country and elevate Realtors® to the standards we at Compass have always held ourselves to.
Real Estate is a relationship-based business, and the trust we’ve earned with our clients is something we greatly value. Together, we will navigate any changes to rules and regulations in our industry while continuing to provide our clients with the same exceptional service we always have.
If you have any questions as additional details surface, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
