Did You Know - For-Sale-by-Owner Sellers

According to the 2013 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers published by the National Association of REALTORS:

• The share of home sellers who sold their home without the assistance of a real estate agent was 9%.  40% knew the buyer prior to home purchase.
• The primary reason that sellers choose to sell their home without the assistance of a real estate agent to a buyer they did not know was that they did not want to pay a fee or commission.  This happened 46% of the time.
• Approximately one-third of FSBO sellers took no action to market their home, and 64% did not offer any incentives to attract buyers.
• The typical FSBO home sold for $184,000 compared to $230,000 among agent-assisted home sales.
