“In a sweeping move expected to dramatically reduce the cost of buying and selling a home, the National Association of Realtors announced Friday a settlement with groups of homesellers, agreeing to end landmark antitrust lawsuits by paying $418 million in damages and eliminating rules on commissions.” The 6% commission on buying or selling a home is gone after Realtors association agrees to seismic settlement. (The internet has disintermediated a lot of middlemen and commissions, but the holy 6% has held pretty steady.)
