I'm guessing the buyer's agent commissions increased. In the past a listing agent could offer less than half to the buyers agent since there were so many buyers. This has flip flopped and the listing agent is the one taking it on the chin now.

Don’t forget about the short sales that have variable commission’s that aren’t determined until after the offer process. These transactions typically max out at 5%, reducing the delta homeowners eat at tax time. Many sellers are just don’t have any equity to work with and can’t afford to write a check at closing. Hey, anyway you look at it, 2.5% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I’m believing for a strong 2010!!
