Selling your home yourself? š”
I get it. Saving money is smart š¤
But hereās what the numbers show:
Over 90% of homes sell with an agent. Only around 5ā6% sell as true For Sale By Owner.
And nationally, FSBO homes tend to sell for less than agent-listed homes. According to NAR, 10-15% less
Now letās talk Los Angeles.
The median home price here is around $900,000.
So even a 10% pricing difference?
Thatās $90,000.
Thatās not a small gap. Thatās a āthat wouldāve paid for retirement tripsā kind of gap.
Most buyers here are working with agents. Most transactions involve complex negotiations, inspections, appraisal issues⦠itās not exactly a lemonade stand transaction.
So the real question isnāt āCan you sell it yourself?ā
Itās āWill you net more?ā
Thatās the only number that matters.ā
