FREE Homeowner Resources from Expert & Real Estate Agent with REMAX Alliance - Anthony Rael

Home appreciation rates in many Denver area communities have been skyrocketing the past seven + years as severe inventory shortages were being driven by extremely high buyer demand due to historically low mortgage interest rates. Combined, they pushed housing prices upwards in unimaginable ways! At one point during the frenzy between 2020-2022 ("the Covid years") it was common for listings to sell $10,000 to $400,000 over the list price (...no that's not a typo) and buyers had to be extremely aggressive with their contract terms with offering things such as "appraisal gaps", limited inspections or even waiving them (really bad idea), appraisal waivers, non-refundable earnest money, ultra-fast closings between 14-21 days and offering sellers the flexibility to remain in the home post-closing (rent-free) up to 60-days. It was truly unprecedented. Let's have coffee and I'll share more about Denver's fast-changing market so you're prepared with all the right tools.

Entering spring 2024, consumers are wondering if this is a seller's market or a buyer's market? My answer is YES to both! Much of what's currently happening is a combination of several dynamic factors so consequently there's no way to answer this question without first knowing what your housing goals and objectives are. It's a complicated real estate market and more than ever you need someone to protect your interests.

Contrary to what you are hearing in the news or on social media, there has never, ever been a "standard commission". Listing commissions remain negotiable today, just as they've for many decades. Any articles or click-bait links suggesting sellers and buyers are going to save thousands of dollars on the sale and purchase of a property are misleading and require additional context so you can educate understand on what's actually happening in the Sitzer-Burnett suit. In a nutshell, starting July 2024, every MLS in the United States will be prohibited from advertising offers of buyer broker compensation. Also known as a Buyer Broker "co-op" or "co-broke" represented the amount a buyer's agent would be paid by the listing agent, seller or home builder if they successfully represented a buyer who closed on the property. Additionally, any real estate agent working with a buyer will be required to enter into a written agreement with the buyer. In other words, before an agent can show any property, they MUST have a written contract with you that informs the buyer they will be responsible for compensating their agent's brokerage firm, UNLESS the agent can successfully negotiate the fee be paid by the listing agent, seller or home builder as part of the purchase contract. While I understand and appreciate the need for full transparency, the proposed changes will most certainly have unintended consequences for both buyers and sellers. In any case, I'm here to advise and counsel you through the upcoming changes so we can successfully pivot and continue putting you in the best possible position to buy and sell real estate. I will be posting articles and frequently asked questions soon. Stay tuned...
