 FSBO -
FISBO
For Sale By Owner (abbreviated
as FSBO) is a real estate term which describes the
situation in which a property is offered for sale directly by its owner
and without that owner having solicited the help of a real estate
broker, implying that no real estate commission is associated with the
sale.
In recent years, the term has been used
more broadly to describe the process of marketing, buying, and selling
of real property without the representation of a real estate broker.
Many sellers who choose to sell via FSBO do so to avoid paying a
commission to a broker, typically 6% of the selling price of the
property in many parts of the US. Commissions can range between 5% and
7% in different markets across the U.S. as well as in Canada.

According to a press release by the
National Association of Realtors (NAR) regarding their most current
annual survey of real estate consumers, 2005 Profile of Home
Buyers and Sellers:
|
- 12% of 2006 US real estate
transactions were FSBO.
- 13% of 2005 US real estate
transactions took place via FSBO (down from 14% in 2004).
The record percentage of 20% of US
real estate transactions (since tracking started in 1981) took place
in 1987.
Some FSBOs, who are willing to pay a reduced fee, may contract with
a broker to list their property on the Realtors' local Multiple
Listing Service for a flat fee. This may be one of the fastest
growing segments of the real estate industry.

According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, which claims that
75% to 80% of homes in Canada were sold through brokers, it would
appear that "Sale by Owner" accounts for some 20% or 25% of the
remainder.[3].
For Sale by Owner within Australia accounts for less than 2% of all
properties sold. (source: Zeroagents 2006) Commission rates within
Australia are typically 2.5% of the selling price. The FSBO market
within Australia has been restricted with major property portals
only allowing property advertisements through real estate agents.

Residential real estate has become incredibly efficient because of the MLS system. The MLS is essentially a highly detailed, highly specific database for local real estate. And unlike a search engine like Google or Yahoo whereby a typical search yields so-so results, some good, some bad, many not relevant, the MLS system allows for extremely targeted searches with only relevant results.

Lets face it there is only one reason to sell your own home - to save money. The decision to sell your property by owner allows the homeowner a "potential" savings of 6% in real estate fees. The average home in USA last year was approximately $270,000 so the "potential" savings is over $16,000!
