Impactful Policy Frameworks
NAR Settlement (2024)
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) settled lawsuits in March 2024, agreeing to eliminate rules that required listing brokers to offer compensation to buyer brokers through the MLS, effectively uncoupling agent commissions.
This policy will likely lead to changes in agent commission structures, potentially shifting the financial burden of buyer agent fees and increasing transparency in real estate transactions.
Affordable Housing Initiatives (Ongoing)
Various state and federal initiatives continue to focus on increasing affordable housing supply through zoning reforms, tax incentives, and direct funding for development.
These initiatives could increase housing inventory and impact market prices, potentially creating more opportunities for first-time homebuyers and affecting the types of properties available for sale.
Data Privacy Regulations (e.g., CCPA, state-specific laws)
Ongoing and evolving data privacy regulations (like the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar state laws) govern how real estate companies collect, use, and store consumer data.
These regulations mandate enhanced data security and transparency, requiring real estate companies to adjust their data handling practices and potentially affecting lead generation and personalized marketing efforts.
