SEATTLE, May 16, 2025 — A recent analysis reveals that the average commission for buyer’s agents has seen minimal fluctuations since the implementation of new commission rules by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). In the first quarter of 2025, the average commission stood at 2.40%, a slight increase from 2.37% in the previous quarter and 2.36% in the third quarter of 2024. However, this figure represents a small decline from the 2.43% recorded during the same period in 2024, prior to the enforcement of the updated regulations.
These findings suggest that the anticipated changes in commission structures following the NAR settlement have not significantly impacted the market. The stability in commission rates may indicate that both buyers and agents are adjusting to the new norms without drastic shifts in compensation practices. As the real estate landscape continues to evolve, industry stakeholders will be closely monitoring these trends to better understand their implications for future transactions.
