You probably heard the news - there are new rules for Realtor commission compensation & the news for consumers is not great.

If you've bought a home in the past 50 years, then you probably did not pay your agent a commission. The Buyer's agent commission was wrapped into the Seller's agent commission & split at closing. This means the compensation for all of the work your Buyer's agent did for you was "baked-in" to the sale price & therefore funded by your new mortgage. You did not have to come out of pocket with any money to pay for the work that your Buyer's agent performed.

With this new settlement with the NAR, buyers will now have to pay their agent directly or be able to negotiate compensation with a potential seller. This is a very significant new burden on home buyers that was not there before. On top of coming up with a down payment, closing costs, and inspection fees, the buyers will now also have to come out of pocket with money to hire a professional Realtor to aid them in the process.

There is a lot of nuance in how these new terms can be tackled, but in the end, it means sellers will have a lower listing commission on paper, but buyers will have a much harder time funding their purchase and negotiating prices with both Realtors & sellers making transactions more complex.
