Did Agent Commission Decrease? 🤔

The answer is No. With more inventory on market, sellers discover if they don’t pay, buyers walk.

MercuryNews: "California reaches new record clean energy milestone." In fact, "solar, wind, hydropower and other carbon-free sources made up 67% of the state’s retail electricity supply in 2023, the most recent year that data [are] available."
Bar graph of sustainable energy sources for California's grid since 2013. This is the most recent year that data [are] available, according to new statistics released Monday by the California Energy Commission."  Former Gov. Jerry Brown in 2018 signed "a state law aimed at reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to climate change; California is required to reach 100% renewable and carbon-free electricity by 2045." As stipulated by the law: solar, wind, geothermal, large hydropower, biomass and nuclear energy are all allowed to count as sustainable. As David Hochschild, chairman of the California Energy Commission, stated,  “Two-thirds clean energy was considered mythology even 10 years ago." On July 7th, Trump wrote, "Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts to unreliable energy sources is vital to energy dominance, national security, economic growth and the fiscal health of the nation." Gov. Gavin Newsom called that approach, in which the president continued long-running subsidies for oil and gas, a mistake.  Newsom shot back, “The world’s fourth-largest economy is running on two-thirds clean power—the largest economy on the planet to achieve this milestone.” And California has been building battery storage faster than anywhere in the world except China. And 25% of new car sales are now electric vehicles, ahead of all the other states. The higher price of electricity is significantly due to wildfires, slowly being addressed by undergrounding transmission in the higher risk areas + other measures. Golden is golden, + I'm not talking precious metals.

Ironic that MercuryNews are publishing that as if the increased housing prices aren't the result of a free market approach to housing combined with the inequality that comes from valorizing non-productive sectors of the economy such as Tech & Finance, which are things they vehemently support!
