FSBO PRICING SUPPORT NO STRINGS ATTACHED

Online estimates use broad algorithms and stale data, often missing the real value by 5–20% sometimes more for homes with upgrades, unique features, or in fast-moving markets. A local agent's CMA uses actual recent sales, current market conditions, and a real assessment of your home.

Overpricing. Homes that launch too high get fewer showings, sit longer, and usually sell for less than they would have at the right opening price. The first 2–3 weeks on the market are when buyer interest peaks a wrong price wastes that window.

Most experts suggest 30–45 days with proper pricing and exposure. If you're getting no showings, the issue is usually price or visibility. If you're getting showings but no offers, it's typically price or condition.

Only licensed agents can post to the MLS. Flat-fee MLS services exist, but they generally don't include pricing guidance, negotiation, or marketing support.

Usually yes. Most FSBO sellers offer 2–3% to attract buyer's agents and their clients. You can negotiate this, but refusing it significantly shrinks your buyer pool.

Disclosure laws vary by state, but most require sellers to disclose known material defects roof issues, water damage, lead paint, structural concerns, and more. Missed disclosures can lead to lawsuits after closing, sometimes years later.

A correctly priced home typically draws multiple showings in the first two weeks and at least one serious offer within 15-30 days. Light activity is the market telling you the price is off.

Sellers typically pay 1–3% in closing costs title fees, transfer taxes, attorney fees, prorated property taxes plus any buyer's agent commission and seller concessions negotiated into the deal.  Please speak to your attorney for full breakdown of closing cost

Often worth the $300–500. It surfaces issues you can address upfront, prevents surprise repair negotiations after offers come in, and signals transparency to serious buyers.

If you've been on the market 30+ days with no offers, or if showing activity has dropped off, it's usually a price issue. Small reductions under 3% rarely move the needle a meaningful adjustment typically performs better than a series of small ones.
