How does that work?

Legal when it was built but not today.

Does anyone know what they use to determine a 50' lot? Is it frontage only, or an average over the length of your lot?

Usually some kind of tape measure, or surveying equipment......

I meant on paper. My lot is officially 48' at the front, but 54' at the back, and my neighbors is about 80' at the front, and 20' at the back.

Does he have a "50 foot" lot and I don't?

[ExtraSlow]

well, if your lots are not rectangular, the "official" method is square footage. Any reference to "fifty foot lot" is colloquial at best.

If you were selling it, I'd have the realtor call it a fifty foot lot.

We've seen plenty of listings show there's no requirement for realtors to be accurate. You live on a 60' riverfront lot.

It’s called front length
So your lot is 48’ front length
If it’s an irregular lot, a good realtor should be putting in all measurements and calculate the sq/footage
Best to have a survey done if there are discrepancies with what the city has recorded and your RPR.
They can be wrong a lot.

Any thoughts from you old wise people about the real estate commissions settlement in the US and implications of a similar thing up here?

Commissions have never been fixed rates, they have always been negotiable.
So nothing will change IMO

This was posted a while ago. I wonder how much the price has dropped on this 'thing'.

I don't see one comfortable chair, sofa, bench, or booth to sit in.

Famous last words.

Realtor commissions are going to get decimated. It's just a matter of time, and the right disruptive technology or business model.

[ExtraSlow]

Long term, I totally agree the average commission will go waay down to something like 1%. However, the current model has been very resilient in the face of some interesting competition. If you would have asked me five years ago, I would have said the model would be broken by now. So today, I'll say they have about five years left....

Timing these things is pretty hard, and sometimes big trends happen slower than you expect.
