What are the immediate implications of the German court's ruling on real estate commission contracts for single-family homes?

A German court ruled that real estate contracts with differing commissions for buyers and sellers of single-family homes are invalid. The court clarified that a property is considered a single-family home if it primarily serves the residential needs of a single household, even with minor commercial use like a small office or garage. This ruling also applies if the spouse of the seller, not the seller directly, hired the broker.
