How do average home price points affect real estate agent income?

Average home price points directly impact agent income because commissions are a percentage of the sale price. For example, a two point five to three percent commission on a $350,000 home yields significantly less gross income than the same rate on a $900,000 home. Higher price points improve margin per deal, making one sale a month more financially viable. Agents should target markets and listings with pricing that supports their income goals.
