FSBO Stats
Did you know that the most important reason for selling a home “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) is the desire to avoid a commission fee? The 2008 National Association of Realtors (NAR) annual report indicates that 59 percent of sellers who sold without the assistance of an agent were motivated by the desire to avoid a commission or fee.
In 2008, All FSBO sales increased marginally to13 percent. This NAR report indicated that 9% of all home sales used a minimal “MLS only” Flat Fee option. This Flat Fee option did not really exist just five years ago. Flat Fee is a FSBO who markets their property by paying an upfront amount to an agent to list their property only on the MLS.
We offer both!
The traditional real estate model is changing
and we are positioned to take advantage of this
in this New Era of Real Estate.
Positive signs in Real Estate market
Last month we reported that home sales were increasing due to federal support and lower mortgage rates. The newly expanded homebuyer tax credit of $8,000 is another positive sign in the real estate market. The qualifying income for this credit has been increased to $150,000 for singles and $225,000 for couples. All homes (single-family as well as condo) that are less than $800,000 qualify. The credit is available to all buyers who contract for a home by April 30 and close on the sale by June 30. Now is the time to take advantage of these favorable conditions.
Home Warranties for FSBO’s
As an affiliate of Warrantech, we offer sellers the ability to increase a buyer’s confidence in the home they are getting ready to purchase. A Warrantech Home Warranty helps protect home buyers from the hassles of unexpected repairs on major systems and appliances. This is just part of our being a “one stop shop” for FSBO’s. You don’t pay for the $395 cost until closing and the best part is…Sellers are covered until Sold! Ask for details.
FSBO + MLS = Excellent Strategy
By
using our FSBO services, you are reaching a
large demographic of buyers looking on their own
(without an agent) through our FSBO Network.
When you add the MLS to your FSBO services, you
are also reaching buyers (most likely with an
agent). It would be tough to argue that the
combination of both is far more than an Realtor
is able to provide, and for much less money! We
recommend starting with just FSBO services and
adding the MLS if necessary.
Our
program is the only marketing program in the
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky market that targets
both demographics at the same time...
