he foresees a struggle, too. >> the pg&e system does not have the capacity for everybody on one block to electrify. reporter: he says making the switch away from gas is good in theory but a lot easier said than done. >> it is a bigger issue than just the idea of just, change this furnace out or change this water heater and make it all electric. it's not as easy as that. reporter: as far as any concerns about the electrical grid handling the change, based on an independent study, air quality district officials believe it can. pg&e also voiced its support of the new regulations. tara campbell, abc7 news. larry: a new change could require california homebuyers to bring even more money to the closing table, that has some people concerned that it might push black and brown buyers out of the real estate market. kristen: our race and social justice reporter julian glover sorts it out. reporter: home prices in the bay area are declining in 2023 but the average home price is still

$1.1 million. if you are looking to buy a home with that value, the minimum amount of money out-of-pocket would be 3.5% for a down payment ,ceric closing costs, $33,000. -- and 3% for closing costs, $33,000. but the real estate agents are concerned if buyers of the market would be required to put down even more money, to the tune of an additional 3% -- >> that could be devastating in my opinion. reporter: rico's concerns about the new change to a piece of paperwork called the seller payment for the buyer's broker agreement which determines how a homebuyers agent is compensated. but it change -- but a change could main the homebuyer is on the hook to pay the agent. rivera is the president of the national hispanic organization of real estate associates. >> i am more concerned it is going to impact the lower income

communities. that's what i'm really concerned about, that the wealth gap is going to widen. reporter: the change made to the form is in response to a trio of lawsuits making waves in the real estate industry. the first is a lawsuit that resulted in a 2020 settlement between the u.s. department of justice and the nar, national association of realtors. the doj sued over allegations that rules made by the nar allowed brokers to misrepresent the services be formed -- performed by buyers agent are free, which is not true. the second and third suits are class action lawsuits out of kansas city and chicago. claiming the nar's rule that requires all sellers to pay buyer's broker is unfair. that rate is usually between 2.5 to 3 percent as seen here in this screenshot

i am told the changes to the former being made to stave off lawsuits. but the real estate agents are concerned, this change may flip the current model on its head. >> because we know homeownership increases your wealth. it is going to x us out. that is the sad part of the puzzle. now we are not passing on generational wealth. reporter: t organization representing black real estate agents dating back to the 1940's when blockages cannot hold the title of realtor due to racism. she's concerned a change in paperwork would create a new norm where homebuyers are on the hook to pay their agent, having to bring an additional 3% in cash to close on a property could mean fewer black and brown homebuyers. >> it is really going to push out not just like buyers, but hispanic buyers, minorities, it is going to push them out. reporter: homebuyers generally have less purchasing power due to income inequality, higher student loan debt and lower

credit scores. remember the average home price of $1.1 million? if a buyer is responsible for paying their agent, that means an additional $33,000 to close a deal -- that raises the minimum amount of money out-of-pocket from $71,500 to 104,000 -- 104,000 $500. >> she has the president of the california association of realtors. she believes the current where the seller is responsible for paying the agent is the best option. while the new form is available, the model has not changed. >> it is very few buyers that either make up a difference of whatever they have agreed upon with their realtor or have fact compensate the agent directly. reporter: when i asked her about the concerns of black and latinx agents worried that a change in compensation model could push perspective buyers out of the already excessive market, she told me -- >> certainly, that is not what

we want to see. reporter: but it is something that we will be watching for. julian glover, abc7 news. kristen: you can get in touch with julian on twitter and facebook -- perhaps you have a story idea or want to share your story with julian, @julia on instagram, julianglovertv. larry: coming up -- the hazards before the xfinity 10g network we didn't have internet that let us play all at once. every device? in every room? why are you up here? with speeds like this, i can't even dream of what he'll be able to do. get xfinity internet for just $25 a month

conversation, so you are staying out. kristen: let's talk about this. are you a sharer? >> joey doesn't share food. [laughter] kristen: uh, hatred of sharing food is not just for joey. millennials and gen do not want to share either. many say it is a dealbreaker if the date asks -- if there date asks to try their food. and if they asked to share, they would not invite them out again. larry: good luck being single the rest of your life. [laughter] kristen: karina, are you with us? karina: this is something i feel passionately about. i just wouldn't have friends or a significant other that would share with me because i like to always have a little bite and taste and i always offer mine up to friends and family. so, you know, that's fine, i just won't be around those people. [laughter] kristen: i'm with you, karina.

spencer, how do you feel? meteorologist: it's not my preferred way to eat, if someone wants to taste what's on my plate, of course i'm going to say go right ahead, but i would prefer to say -- if you want the spaghetti, you should've r] krteis i know. he wd i sa grit ahead. what was i going to say, no? kristen: now i know the truth. [laughter] larry: that she bully you, spencer? meteorologist: she was being sweet. she was being very polite, saying i'd like to try some of that, i said go right ahead. but it's not my preferred way of dining. larry: wow. spencer. have you ever heard sharing is caring, spencer? maybe think about that. [laughter] i tell you, there's a new top dog in america's homes. the american kennel club's annual survey shows the french bulldog is america's most popular brute for the first time -- breed for the first time.

the labrador retriever is a second after a 31 year run at the top of the list. the golden retriever ranks third followed by the german shepherd and then the poodle. i kind of like cocker spaniel's. it didn't make the top five. do you have a favorite? kristen: a soft coated wheaten terrier. very friendly. >> i can say golden retriever's being popular. they look friendly. meteorologist: among those we were looking at, i guess the golden retriever looks like the most appealing to me -- visually appealing. but if i really had to have a dog, and have a cap -- i would have a cat. [laughter] kristen: karina what about you? >> they are all cute. i don't have a favorite dog. i think they are all adorable. they are all cute in their own way. i really have never said, that's my favorite type of dog, i think they are all adorable. as long as they are well behaved

and the owner picks up after them. that's it. larry: i want to ask spencer wanting -- if you're golden retriever once a bite of your food, would you share with the golden retriever? [laughter] meteorologist: i probably would. because his bite would be worse then kristen -- than kristen's. [laughter] larry: fantastic. he feels safe because he is up on the roof away from you. he's emboldened by the distance.
