There was a house close to us that sold FSBO. I got their color flier still,and they listed at 123k. I though *good luck* buddy when homes were selling for 30k to 100k around here. Well darn if they did not sell it for 123! I checked on the auditor web page.It wasn't a super awesome house either If they had gone with a realtor they would have started at 123k and steadily dropped as do all the listed homes around us. I watch them all,because every sale affects our values.Unfortunately that 123k sale does not show up when realtors do a market value on my home!
There was another house across the street that sold in 2 days with a FSBO.Though I have not checked the sale amount I don't think they sold very low.They got buyers from a town over an hour away where I guess the house price here was a good deal from where they come from.
A lawyer that does real estate will be cheaper than a realtor. I would not show a house to people *just looking*. Screen and show only to those that are pre-approved.
