This market will eventually be efficient and price this labor fairly, but it takes a long time to get there.
Outlook
OptimisticMarket efficiency in real estate commissions would benefit consumers by reducing transaction costs.
The author says 'eventually' and emphasizes it 'takes a long time,' implying a horizon well beyond the near term, interpreted as beyond 5 years.
The use of 'will eventually' expresses high confidence that market efficiency will occur, with no hedging on the outcome itself.
Potential Data Sources for Validation
Track average real estate commission rates over time using NAR data or real estate transaction databases; a significant decline toward cost-of-service pricing would confirm the claim.
