Why the rate lands here

San Jose's market moves at a fairly typical pace — a solid listing effort matters, but nothing extreme.

Price level matters too: at San Jose'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 San Jose 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.
