Today on This Week in Real Estate, we're talking about Compass reportedly overtaking Zillow in market value, SERHANT. making a major move into Texas, and what all this consolidation means for agents, brokerages, portals, and consumers. We'll also break down the latest from NAR, including dues staying steady, the debate over whether REALTORS should have to disclose knowledge gaps, and NAR's expanding legal fight tied to Mauricio Umansky's thePLS.com and the Clear Cooperation Policy. Then we'll get into the actual housing market, where things are getting strange. Redfin says home-price growth accelerated in May, seller concessions hit a record high for that month, and housing payments are back near painful highs.

Join us live on YouTube for sharp, no-fluff real estate news, market analysis, and agent-focused commentary. Topics include: Compass vs Zillow SERHANT Texas expansion NAR dues and leadership REALTOR ethics debate Clear Cooperation Policy Private listings and thePLS.com Mortgage rates and housing affordability Home prices, seller concessions, and buyer demand","meta_description":"The real estate industry is changing fast, and this week's headlines are all about power, control, and pressure.
