The US real estate market is currently navigating a period of shifting dynamics. While inventory remains tight in many areas, rising interest rates have cooled demand, leading to a moderation in home price growth compared to recent years. Affordability challenges persist for many buyers, particularly first-timers. The market is showing signs of stabilizing, with regional variations.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reached a proposed settlement in March 2024 to eliminate rules requiring sellers' agents to offer compensation to buyers' agents through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
This policy could significantly alter commission structures, potentially lowering buyer closing costs and shifting how real estate agents are compensated, impacting Juliewood Real Estate's commission models.
While not a new policy, the continued availability and allocation of the Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF), established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, provides financial aid to homeowners impacted by the pandemic.
The HAF provides crucial support to homeowners facing financial distress, preventing foreclosures and maintaining market stability, which indirectly benefits Juliewood Real Estate by sustaining client bases.
Beyond the NAR settlement, there's growing federal scrutiny by the Department of Justice on competitive practices and potential antitrust issues within the real estate industry.
This increased scrutiny could lead to further regulatory changes impacting how real estate businesses operate, including advertising and listing practices, potentially requiring Juliewood Real Estate to adapt its operational strategies.
