The National Association of REALTORS recently released some highlights from their 2014 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, with a section devoted to characteristics of FSBO (for sale by owner) Sellers. Did you know: 
- The share of home sellers who sold their home without the assistance of a real estate agent was 9%. 44% knew the buyer prior to home purchase.
- Among sellers who did not know the buyer of the home previously, 15% were contacted by a buyer they did not know to buy the home.
- FSBOs typically have a lower median selling price: $208,700 compared to $235,000. Thus, the typical agent-assisted home sale typically has a 13% higher sales price than the typical FSBO sale.
- Half of FSBO sellers took no action to market their home, and 73% did not offer any incentives to attract buyers.
