Insanity is the real estate commission. At 6% in April it was $20700. 9 months latter the same house commission is $42000. According to some sources people are standing in line to buy houses. The way I see it the real estate firm is doing less work and less advertising expenses at a minimum. Are the sellers really paying these (fill in the blank) kind of commissions ?
