There Is A Noticeable Difference in FSBO...

...and the data results are quite interesting

In a market such as this

One might think that homes sold "for sale by owner"

Would be setting records - with regard to how many are doing it

The fact is that records are being set

just not the ones that you would expect

The NAR - National Association of Realtors

reports that in 2024 there was a record LOW set for FSBO sales

Only 7% homes sold in America sold their own home

A record was also set for homes sold by agents at 91%

All of this despite a robust set of tools available for people to sell on their own

what's even more suprising

is that the numbers are even lower in 2025

the year to date data available shows FSBO sales at a mere 5%

so why aren't more people selling on their own?

digging deeper into the data we find

• the median sales price of a FSBO home is $360,000
• the median sales price of a home sold by an agent is $425,000
• 40% of FSBO sellers invested $0 in marketing their homes

these numbers on their own don't tell the whole story

but they are certainly eye opening

what's becoming very clear right now for most

is that it's much easier to sell on your own

when the market is hot and trending upward

than it is to sell in a netural or a buyers market

as I give some tips to those thinking about selling on their own
