Do commission rates affect the time to sell your house?

In 2022 the commission rates to sell a single-family home in Brigantine varied from 4% to 6%.

We looked at the data to see if that had any impact on the days on market (how long it took to sell a home).


4% commission transactions had an average of 66 days on market.
5% commission transactions had an average of 29 days on market.
6% commission transactions had an average of 22 days on market.


Clearly the higher commissions motivated selling agents to focus on these properties.

There are many other factors that may affect Days on Market, but it appears commission rates do drive activity.
