Correcting the record: NAR does not set commissions

Following recent inaccuracies in media coverage, including the false representation or suggestion that the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) requires a standard 6% commission, NAR has issued the following statement:

CHICAGO (March 19) – The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) does not set commissions – they are negotiable. The rule that has been the subject of litigation requires only that listing brokers communicate an offer of compensation. That offer can be any amount, including zero. Other rules throughout the MLS Handbook and NAR policy expressly prohibit MLSs, associations and brokers from setting or suggesting any such amount that should be included in that field. The text of the current rule is linked here and excerpted below, the text of our MLS Antitrust Compliance Policy is linked here and excerpted below, and a notice included in NAR’s MLS Handbook is below.

Again, the current rule that has been the subject of litigation does not set commissions.

As reflected in our release about the proposed settlement agreement, NAR has agreed to put in place a new MLS rule prohibiting offers of broker compensation on the MLS. Commissions remain negotiable, as they have been.

Excerpt from Handbook on Multiple Listing Policy –Commission/Cooperative Compensation Offers, Section 1: Information Specifying the Compensation on Each Listing Filed with a Multiple Listing Service of an Association of Realtors®

In filing property with the multiple listing service, participants make blanket unilateral offers of compensation to the other MLS participants and shall therefore specify on each listing filed with the

service the compensation being offered by the listing broker to the other MLS participants. This is necessary because cooperating participants have the right to know what their compensation will be before commencing their efforts to sell.

The listing broker retains the right to determine the amount of compensation offered to subagents, buyer agents or brokers acting in other agency or non-agency capacities, which may be the same or different.

Excerpt from Handbook on Multiple Listing Policy – MLS Antitrust Compliance Policy

The purpose of multiple listing is the orderly correlation and dissemination of listing information to participants so they may better serve the buying and selling public. Boards and associations of Realtors® and their multiple listing services shall not enact or enforce any rule which restricts, limits or interferes with participants in their relations with each other, in their broker/ client relationships or the conduct of their business in the following areas.

Boards and associations of Realtors® and their MLSs shall not:

1. Fix, control, recommend or suggest the commissions or fees charged for real estate brokerage services (Interpretation 14).

2. Fix, control, recommend or suggest the cooperative compensation offered by listing brokers to potential cooperating brokers.

Excerpt from Handbook on Multiple Listing Policy –Notice to Association Members

Under the long-established policy of this association, the (state) association of Realtors®, and the National Association of Realtors®:

1. The broker’s compensation for services rendered in respect to any listing is solely a matter of negotiation between the broker and his or her client and is not fixed, controlled, recommended or maintained by any persons not a party to the listing agreement.

2. The compensation paid by a listing broker to a cooperating broker in respect to any listing is established by the listing broker and is not fixed, controlled, recommended or maintained by any persons other than the lister broker.

(Amended 4/92)

Energy efficient windows can help you sell your home

One of the most cost-effective renovation jobs you can perform is window replacement. In fact, according to Remodeling Magazine, you’ll realize a nearly 73 percent return on the money you invest in installing vinyl windows. Replacing wood windows returns nearly 79 percent of your investment.

Saving money is attractive to homebuyers

Keep in mind that 15 to 22 percent of heat loss occurs through a

home’s windows, so energy-efficient windows are a hot selling point. Saving money, however, is but one benefit of replacing old windows.

Others include:

More sunlight

Low-E windows reduce the amount of solar heat that enters the home while maintaining the amount of light that enters a room.

Condensation

Because the frame, space and glazing materials resist heat conduction, condensation is reduced.

Protection from fading

Plastic films and coatings reduce ultraviolet radiation, which causes fading of carpets and upholstery.

Tax savings

You may qualify for a tax credit of up to $500 for many energysaving improvements to the home, including these new windows.

Whether or not you’ll enjoy tax savings from installing new windows in your home by the time you read this is up in the air. Congress waits until the last minute to extend or end tax breaks and, so far, the energy tax credit has been extended each year. Check with your tax professional to be sure.

When shopping for new energyefficient windows you’ll find a variety of types and materials. Frames may be aluminum, wood, vinyl or wood clad in vinyl or aluminum. Vinyl windows provide a higher level of efficiency than the less-expensive aluminum windows.

The process of choosing new windows may be confusing, but the folks at the Efficient Windows Collaborative have recommendations for both new and existing homes.

Energy efficiency is important to many of today’s homebuyers so make sure that if you’ve made improvements you let your agent know about them.

Thinking about moving out of state? Check the Housing Affordability Index

Considering a move to a new state? It’s essential to assess housing affordability in your desired relocation area.

The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) offers a tool for this purpose. NAR has diligently tracked this index nationwide for years, providing insight into its change over time. The index is updated monthly by NAR, facilitating easy comparisons and informed decisions.

The index assesses whether a “typical” family could afford a mortgage on a “typical” home, but what defines “typical”? For calculation purposes, the typical family (or buyer if not a family) refers to those earning the median income nationally and locally. Income data from the U.S. Census Bureau is utilized. The typical home is the median-priced single-family home nationally, reported monthly by NAR, and in your researched area.

The next factor taken into account is the prevailing interest rates for mortgage loans. NAR uses the effective interest rate on loans closed on existing homes as published by the Federal Housing Finance Board.

But wait, there’s more! A couple more assumptions need to be made. The calculation is going to assume two more factors. First, a down payment of 20% of the home price. Second, a qualifying ratio of 25%. A qualifying ratio of 25% means the monthly principal and interest payment cannot exceed 25% of the median family’s income.

If you are interested in the entire formula used to compute the index, the exact calculations are available on the NAR website. For purposes of this article, let’s just talk about the results of the algorithm. Once the calculations have been applied and a number comprising the index as a result, what does it mean?

A value of 100 means that a median-income family has the exact amount of income to qualify for the monthly mortgage payment at the current interest rate for a median-priced home. When the index rises above 100, that means the median income earned has more than enough income to qualify for a median-priced home. Expressed another way, an index of 120, means that the income earner has 120% of the income required to buy the median-priced home. As that number increases to say 150, the income earner has 150% of the income needed, which in turn means as the index goes up, affordability goes up. At the other end of the scale, an index of 80 means the income earner is only making 80% of what is required to buy that median-priced home, which in turn means homes are less affordable.

Remember, all real estate is local, so national statistics don’t really mean very much. It would be like getting a national average temperature in a weather report to decide whether to wear a coat to work. You get the idea: Minneapolis is vastly different from Miami. Remember above 100 is the index baseline. The higher the number indicating the highest affordability. Housing was the most affordable shortly after the recession ended. The inventory shortage has created the lowest, least affordable, index in years.

Let’s take a look at a sample of the data:

Contact a Realtor® in the area to which you are relocating and they will have the resources to obtain the index for that area.

Duane graduated with a business degree and a major in real estate from the University of Colorado in 1978. He has been a Realtor® in Boulder since that time. He joined RE/MAX of Boulder in 1982 and has facilitated over 2,500 transactions over his career. Living the life of a Realtor and being immersed in real estate led to the inception of his book, Realtor for Life.

What you should know about non-traditional real estate investing

There’s more than one way to build wealth through real estate. If you’ve been wondering how to expand your portfolio, there are several options you should know about. The types of investments I share below are a different ballgame than traditional property ownership, and may offer new and exciting ways to grow your wealth. Here’s what you should consider:

JENNIFER EGBERT

Real estate partnerships

If you own a home in Colorado, chances are good that you’ve been blown away by the equity you’re building. Our state, and especially the Boulder area, is an excellent choice for holding real estate. If you’re ready to branch out into other forms of investment, you may be interested in exploring real estate partnerships. There are several ways to become part of a partnership, and it can be as easy as joining forces with an investor that you know and trust (ideally, someone who has experience in property acquisition, management, or development). As part of a partnership, you aren’t required to pay corporate income tax or other entity-related taxes. You’ll simply pay individual income taxes based on your share of the profit. Partnerships are also appealing because you can pool resources to invest in properties that would otherwise be out of reach, such as raw land for development or apartment complexes. Keep in mind that as of January 1st, 2024, LLCs and limited partnerships are now required to report ownership data to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This department of the U.S. Treasury is collecting data in accordance with the Corporate Transparency Act. If you have any questions about which types of entities are required to report, please contact your tax professional.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

If you’re not interested in being directly involved in real estate ownership and management, real estate investment trusts (REITs) may be a great option for you. REITs are entities that possess, manage, or provide financial backing for income-generating real estate assets. In other words, your investment will be part of a larger entity that owns or finances real estate such as offices, apartment buildings, retail centers, and other types of incomeproducing properties. Public REITs are traded on major stock exchanges, but there are also private REITs and public non-traded REITs.

Real Estate Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

Like REITs, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are typically traded on stock exchanges and offer investors a diversified portfolio of real estate assets. These are investment funds that often track an underlying index or sector, and are typically focused on real-estate-related companies (think: REITs, developers, and property management firms). With EFTs, you’re invested in a basket of securities without being involved in

Real estate notes

Real estate notes are another form of indirectly investing in real estate. Investing in real estate notes means that you’ll purchase or invest in a mortgage or deed of trust. Essentially, your investment will serve as a lender and you’ll receive regular interest payments from borrowers. If you’d like to invest in real estate notes, you can buy them directly from banks, mortgage lenders, or other investors. This option can be excellent for those who are interested in a steady revenue stream, and it also offers the potential for capital appreciation if the note is sold for more than it was purchased for.

Crowdfunding

Real estate crowdfunding is growing in popularity, and it’s no wonder why! This flexible form of investing allows just about anyone to become an investor. Through crowdfunding, you can pool your resources with hundreds or even thousands of other investors to own a share of a property. Most platforms require a minimum investment, but this threshold is often much smaller than

what you’d need for a partnership or other form of real estate ownership. Through platforms such as Fundrise or CrowdStreet, you can get started with growing your portfolio.

Investing in real estate is one of the most established and reliable ways to grow wealth. If you’re not keen about buying rental properties or flipping houses, the less traditional options I’ve discussed here could be great additions to your portfolio. If you’d like to diversify your assets through real estate, your tax professional and wealth management team should be your first points of contact. If you prefer to go the traditional route and purchase a property to live in or rent out contact your local real estate agent.

DESIGN RECIPES

By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service (TNS)

While white walls allow for the greatest amount of flexibility. There is still the desire to add both color and interest to help make a room finished with color and texture. Beyond the traditional accent wall there are some other options that include wallpaper and even wall stickers.

When looking to add a bit of interest to your walls, here are some top tips.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper comes in myriad colors, patterns and textures as well as price

points. Wallpaper also remains ontrend and has regained popularity for use in spaces from living rooms and dining spaces to bedrooms and bathrooms. Be sure to properly measure your walls and compare to the width and height of the wallpaper you are purchasing so you don’t purchase too much or too little. A professional installation is also recommended.

Wall stickers

Wall stickers have come a long way and are now used in a variety of ways and can perk up nearly any room of the home. Wall stickers are a non-permanent way to add interest to walls but also allow for one’s

imagination to flow. Place stickers in whimsical or creative ways while also allowing for “negative” space. Leaving certain areas white or uncovered will allow the wall stickers to take center stage.

Accent walls

Not ready to take the plunge painting an entire room? An accent wall is an easy and simple way to add color to a room. One can add an accent wall that blends or complements existing decor or in a contrasting color for more of a “wow” factor.

Quick design recipes tips

• Paint a single accent wall a contrast color if looking for a “pop of color” that won’t overwhelm.

• Consider wallpaper or grasscloth to add color, pattern and texture.

OPEN HOUSES QUICK GUIDE TO

• Use removable wall stickers even in unexpected areas of the home.

• Hire a local artist to paint a custom mural.

• Hang oversized artwork in a series in large areas.

Homebuyers are increasingly interested in properties with sustainability features, droughttolerant landscaping, and xeriscaping, especially in Colorado, where rainfall is limited.

In fact, xeriscaping originated in Colorado, emerging in the 1980s when the Denver Water Department coined the term “xeriscape” and educated the public about water-conscious landscaping, writes Sky-Hi News. While home shoppers love an inviting grass lawn,

typically, lawn grasses have been the most water-intensive landscaping treatment, consuming around 30% of a household’s water, reports PBS.org.

But what if there was a

low-maintenance alternative that thrives in Colorado’s dry climate? Enter blue grama grass — a native, drought-tolerant option that’s gaining popularity. It can be mowed like a lawn or allowed to grow tall and

feathery. Here are some of the bene ts of this lawn covering to enhance your property’s appeal as you prepare your home for sale.

Low water, low maintenance beauty

Unlike traditional lawns, blue grama grass requires minimal watering, ourishing with just seven inches of water annually, according to House Digest. That’s a signi cant reduction compared to the water-guzzling tendencies of Kentucky bluegrass, a common lawn grass. While this prairie grass can grow as high as two feet, it can also be regularly mowed to a height of two inches, providing a natural, low-water-use turf. It grows in zones 3-10, ideally suited for Boulder County’s zone

TOM

5 and has no known disease issues, so it does not require pesticide sprays, making it wellsuited for children and pets.

A colorful addition to your landscape

Beyond its water-saving benefits, blue grama grass offers a unique aesthetic. This native grass boasts a distinctive color palette, transforming from a dusty green in summer to brown and burnt orange hues in the fall. Epic Gardening highlights this seasonal change, noting its ornamental value for adding visual interest to your yard.

Easy to cultivate

Blue grama grass thrives in full sun, requiring four to six hours of direct sunlight daily, and it is not easily scorched in full sun — making it ideal for Boulder County’s sunny climate. Additionally, it can thrive in a variety of well-drained soil types.

While replacing your lawn with blue grama might require

some prep work, consulting with a local landscaping professional can help you determine the best course of action for your yard. But with its low water needs and stunning appearance, blue grama grass is a sustainable and attractive option for Colorado homeowners seeking a hasslefree lawn that adds appeal and value to home shoppers.
