That’s why buyers — like Kevin McIntosh — are trying to find a new home by May. “It’s beginning to show signs that it’s getting competitive,” he said. “But we’re just trying to get out there and stay on the search as often as possible.” A few elements may make 2024 more competitive.

The way Americans buy and sell homes is about getting turned on its head lolita, 25/07/2025 CNN — The way Americans buy and sell homes is about getting turned on its head. An earth-shattering, multibillion-dollar antitrust ruling against the National Association of Realtors late last year led to a settlement on Friday that will loosen the powerful trade group’s stranglehold on America’s housing market. The $418 million settlement with a group of homebuyers is expected to take effect sometime around July, pending a judge’s approval. It would change a number of rules and guidelines set by the NAR that critics say have kept housing prices artificially inflated. The TL;DR: 6% commissions, split between the buyer’s and seller’s brokers, will no longer be the norm. Agent commissions are expected to fall — in some cases, dramatically — because they will be competitive and negotiable, and sellers will be able to shop around for better rates. And other broker tactics that critics say are anticompetitive, such as a rule that makes sellers’ agents set compensation for buyers’ agents, will be prohibited. It’s not all good news: Buyers may have to pay their broker directly in the future, which could be tough for buyers accustomed to financing that commission as part of their mortgage. And some buyers could choose … Continue Reading

AG Dana Nessel warns against real estate scams: What to know lolita, 23/07/2025 FOX 2 (WJBK) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is sounding the alarm when it comes to real estate scams. With an increase in fraudulent real estate listings on properties that often do not exist, renters and home buyers should be aware of the warning signs. An advertisement on Zillow listed a Florida house at less than 3% of its actual value, according to a news release from Nessel’s office. The listing “agent” specified they would only engage with first-time home buyers who did not have any representation. Moreover, they demanded a deposit of $4,500 before the house could even be viewed. “Purchasing a home is often the single largest expense a consumer will make in their lifetime, and entering a new lease on a rental home similarly represents a huge financial commitment,” Nessel said in the release. “Sadly, when the sums reach such heights, fraudsters and scammers are drawn to these markets. Prospective homebuyers and renters can avoid falling victim to these scams with moderate vigilance and reasonable precautions, and a healthy skepticism of any listings that appear too good to be true.” Nessel’s warning refers to Zillow’s guidance on what prospective home buyers should be vigilant about.
