What the Realtor Lawsuit Settlement Means for the Real Estate Market

The National Association of Realtors (NAR), representing over 1.5 million members across residential and commercial real estate sectors, has settled a major antitrust lawsuit for $418 million. The litigation involved a class of home sellers and several major brokerages, accusing them of artificially inflating sales commissions. This landmark settlement can drastically change the dynamics of buying and selling homes, possibly reducing homeowners' costs and significantly altering real estate professionals' operations.

As part of the settlement, homeowners who sold properties within the last seven years may qualify for compensation from a collective class-action payout. The actual amount each claimant receives will depend on how many eligible homeowners submit claims by the May 9, 2025 deadline. This arrangement may affect tens of millions of Americans.
