    "context": "The percentage shrinks as price rises because many fees are flat (appraisal, inspection, recording) rather than proportional. Cash buyers pay far less — often under 1% — because all the lender fees disappear. Sellers face the bigger bill mainly because of commissions (typically 5–6% total, now negotiated separately after the 2024 NAR settlement) plus their share of transfer taxes and title fees.",
    "methodology": "Buyer range from national 2–5% convention; seller range adds typical 5–6% commission to 1–4% in transfer taxes, title, and fees. State and county pages on this site carry the local numbers.",
