Southeast Michigan Real Estate For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Continues To Be A Bad Deal For Home Sellers
Posted in Southeast Michigan Real Estate by Michigan Real Estate Expert on March 27th, 2008 Accordingly to the recently released 2007 National Association of Realtors (NAR) Profile Of Home Buyers And Sellers, the number one reason given by For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Home Sellers as to why they attempted to sell their homes without Realtor assistance was to avoid paying a commission. An examination of the survey results indicates that home sellers should avoid the FSBO process altogether. First, in 2007, the by owner seller had a seven percent (7%) chance of selling his or her home to a buyer that they did not know. In addtion, according to the survey, the median sale price was thirty four percent (34%) higher for Realtor assisted sales compared to by owner sales. By owner sellers also indicated that the most difficult task they faced was understanding and preparing the paperwork necessary to sell their home.
