BUSTED! National Association of Realtors

In the earlier post (now updated), we reported on the court decision granting $1.8B to Missouri home sellers, which may be trebled (attorney talk for "tripled"). From what I can understand, the collusion is supported by a rule mandating an "offer of compensation to a buyer’s broker."  This requirement creates an incentive for the buyer's broker to "steer" the buyer to only properties listed on the high-commission-fee multiple-listing service (MLS).

From WSJ:
Missouri home sellers challenged a Realtor rule requiring seller agents to provide a blanket offer of compensation to a buyer’s broker to list a home on the association’s affiliated MLS. These databases of homes for sale are similar to stock exchanges in that they match brokers and sellers. They are also de facto monopolies.
The plaintiffs provided compelling evidence that overall commissions have stayed at roughly 5% or 6% for decades, split evenly between the buyer and seller brokers.
