A recent jury verdict against the National Association of Realtors and large residential brokerages could upend the residential real estate industry. Here's what real estate agents, homebuyers and sellers need to know about potential changes in residential real estate economics. A bad time for bad news in real estateThe jury verdict comes at a time when many real estate agents are already feeling a pinch. At a time when home sales are already under pressure, "this lawsuit is just another punch in the gut for real estate franchises," said Bill Gross, a self-employed real estate broker associate in California with eXp Realty. Lawsuits focused on fees reinforce the general trend of trying to lower fees in the real estate market, Schipani said.

But after years of trying, the basic structure of buying and selling a home remains pretty much the same. Even if you accept a bit of intricacy, real estate remains a stodgy industry — and regulation is at the core of that resistance to change. Despite the best efforts of would-be disruptors to cut out this middleman, 88% of buyers this year enlisted a real-estate agent, a Zillow survey found. Short of a tech-enabled homebuying nirvana, there are some other changes that could make the process easier for consumers. Saul Klein, an early internet evangelist in the real-estate industry, told me he sees an approaching "paradigm shift."

Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods are so close that Tiger considers JT part of his family. Thomas listed his 'starter' house in Jupiter, Florida, the home of many top golfers, including Tiger. The $3.5 million house has everything a wealthy young bachelor would want in a house. The property, dubbed Thomas' "starter house" by Golf Digest, was on the market for $3.5 million just months after he got married, and was listed by former golfer Johnny DelPrete of Douglas Elliman Realty. Thomas is considered Tiger Woods' closest friend on the PGA Tour and has even been referred to by Tiger as his "younger brother" and an "older brother" to Tiger's son, Charlie Woods.

The problem with home-flipping giants
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Aj Latrace | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
Meanwhile, the corporate scalpers of the housing market — companies that buy and relist homes by the thousands without doing much, if any, work on them to make a profit — are struggling. Last week, two of the biggest remaining corporate home-flipping companies, Opendoor and Offerpad, reported dismal earnings, another sign that their business model is incredibly risky. Kelman also said one "problem is that iBuying is a staggering amount of money and risk for a now-uncertain benefit. At its core, the main business model of home-flipping firms doesn't create a ton of immediate value. Opendoor, Offerpad, and other companies that rushed to purchase homes are now discounting the asking prices of those homes to get them off their books.
The losses are mounting for Opendoor as home prices fall in previously red-hot markets such as Phoenix, Southern California, and Las Vegas. Opendoor cut the listing price three times, ultimately dropping it to $657,000 before the property sold. Opendoor has since cut the listing price five times, most recently advertising the property at $417,000. Records on Zillow indicate Opendoor has reduced the listing price six times. As for the homes Opendoor is buying today, Wu said executives "expect those to perform well and in line with expectations."
