Are Brokers' Commission Rates on Home Sales Too High? A Conceptual Analysis

description
  • – Many people believe that prevailing commission rates for residential real estate brokers are"too high"but do not offer a formal model. This paper presents a general equilibrium model of the housing market in which real estate brokers serve as matching intermediaries. We use this model to construct an illustrative example which is"calibrated"using data representative of a typical housing market.
