Every month, Fannie Mae surveys consumers' views on the economy and the housing market. In September, optimism about lower rates helped FNMA's Home Purchase Sentiment Index rise 1.8 points to 73.9, the highest level since February 2022. We've been seeing several 'glimmers of hope' like this lately. Now, if only rates can STAY down for long enough, we could finally get a recovery in transaction volumes!

Sellers make $79K more with agents A new survey by Clever Real Estate revealed that home sellers who used a real estate agent made $79,000 more than those who sold without one. Based on responses from 654 Americans who sold homes in the past two years, the study found that 36% opted to sell without an agent. Key findings include 54% of those sellers regretting the decision, with agent-less sellers being 64% more likely to miss profit goals and twice as likely to be unhappy with their selling method. Additionally, 49% of FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers wished they had priced their homes differently, while 73% of represented sellers felt their agent set the right price. 87% of FSBO sellers would consider switching to an agent, especially if no offers came within two months.

REQUIRED DISCLOSURES This job is getting harder. In March, when the NAR Settlement was initially announced, my main comment was that this will force us to be better. I undertook the job of evaluating the many tasks that must be completed for a simple sale, and as a consequence how great Realtors have already had to become. Want proof? As a bare minimum, a Seller in Florida is required to make many disclosures, where applicable (see HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS). Who is there to ensure they do so? The Realtor!
