Why the rate lands here

Clayton's market is red hot — well-priced homes attract buyers quickly, often with multiple offers, and much of the selling happens on its own.

Price level matters too: at Clayton's typical home value, an agent's dollar payout at a given percentage differs a lot from the national picture, and a fair percentage moves accordingly. We start from the typical post-settlement listing-side rate and adjust for local prices, market heat, and how much work a typical sale here takes.

This range is for a typical Clayton home. Your home isn't typical — its condition, your target price, and your exact zip all move the number, which is what the calculator is for.
