If you’re planning on buying or selling a home, I’ve got good news for you: Commissions taken by real estate agents have been falling in recent years and are now, on average, around 5% compared to a historical average of around 6%. On a $250,000 home, that 1% difference amounts to $2,500 — not chump change.
