Following NAR input, buyer agent commissions not counted among IPC limits The National Association of REALTORS® influenced a significant clarification from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with the entities confirming that buyer's agent commissions will not count as part of the interested party contributions limits.

Settlement Answers

Will a prohibition on offers of compensation on the MLS save money for sellers or buyers?

As NAR has maintained throughout the litigation, nothing in NAR's current policies (including the MLS Model Rule) has increased costs for buyers or sellers. This settlement would preserve the choices consumers have regarding real estate services and compensation. After the new rule goes into effect, listing brokers and sellers could continue to offer compensation for buyer broker services, but such offers could not be communicated via the MLS.
The settlement expressly provides that sellers may communicate seller concessions—such as buyer closing costs—via the MLS provided that such concessions are not conditioned on the use of or payment to a buyer broker. Get more facts about NAR's settlement agreement at facts.realtor.

Short-term rental issue divides mega HOA Ongoing litigation over short-term rentals in a Pennsylvania HOA of 3,660 homes reflects a national trend in which boards are faced with balancing part-time residents' desire to make money from their properties and the interests of full-time residents who want a 100% "residential" community. In 2022, residents voted to limit the number of times a home can be rented out annually to 10, but the amendment hasn't been implemented because of the lawsuit, leaving some residents feeling unsafe, hurt, upset and confused.
