It's a small sampling but it supports something those of us in the industry already knew:

New research shows home sellers who used a real estate agent made $79,000 more from their home sales compared to sellers who didn’t. That’s according to a survey by Clever Real Estate, based on the replies of 654 Americans who sold a home this year or last year. 36% of the respondents chose to sell their home without an agent.

Here are some of the other key findings from the report:

54% of agent-less sellers wish they had used an agent.

Agent-less sellers are also 64% more likely to say they did not sell for their desired profit and 2x more likely to be unhappy about the method they used to sell their home

49% of FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers wish they had priced their home differently, while 73% of represented sellers think their agent priced their home correctly.

87% of agent-less sellers would be willing to switch to an agent at some point, with 51% saying they'd hire an agent within two months of not receiving any reasonable offers.

Traders are now 100% certain the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by September.

There are now 93.3% odds that the Fed’s target range for the federal funds rate, its key rate, will be lowered by a quarter percentage point to 5% to 5.25% in September from the current 5.25% to 5.50%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. And there are 6.7% odds that the rate will be a half percentage point lower in September, accounting for some traders believing the central bank will cut at its meeting at the end of July and again in September, says the tool. Taken together, you get the 100% odds.

The probabilities are based on trading in CME fed funds futures contracts.
