This podcast episode discusses proposed changes to the US housing market, particularly regarding the compensation of buyers' agents. The National Association of Realtors settling a case could potentially eliminate the need for sellers to compensate buyers' agents, resulting in lower closing costs for sellers. While this change is expected to increase transaction volumes, it may also increase costs for buyers who will have to compensate their agents. The impact on home prices is predicted to be minimal due to affordability issues and an increase in for-sale inventory. The episode also explores the potential impact of increased housing activity on home prices, recent trends in the housing market, and upcoming changes in the housing market.
