In a nationwide survey of 806 real estate agents, the average combined buyer's and seller's agent commission increased from 5.32% to 5.44% in 2025.
ST. LOUIS, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- One year after the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement on broker commission practices, the average national total real estate agent commission rate is 5.44% — up from 5.32% last year, according to a new report from Clever Real Estate, a St. Louis-based real estate company.
For a home priced at the median value of $367,711, that amounts to $20,003 in total realtor fees — with $10,186 going to the seller's agent (2.77%) and $9,818 to the buyer's agent (2.67%).

Although sellers are no longer required to pay the buyer's agent fee as part of the NAR lawsuit changes, many sellers' agents still recommend offering it as a concession.
Despite 2024 seeing the lowest average commission across the U.S. in the past 5 years (5.32%), rates now stand closer to the average 2023 rate (5.49%).
Still, sellers are paying slightly lower commission rates than they were five years ago (5.5%), and rates can vary significantly, with statewide averages ranging from 4.92% to 6.03%.
The states with the highest average total commission rates are:
Conversely, the states with the lowest average rates are:
In areas with higher home prices, however, agents often charge lower percentage-based commission rates because the overall commission amount is still substantial due to the property's value.
In terms of dollars spent on the average commission on a median-priced home, the most expensive states are:
The least expensive states in terms of dollars spent on commission are:
From 2024 to 2025, commission rates increased in 39 states, decreased in 10, and stayed the same in New York — with most increases being minimal.

The biggest shift may be that sellers now have the option to skip covering the buyer's agent fees, but overall commission rates haven't seen dramatic impacts.
