- Sellers are turning to agents to help sell their homes at higher rates than in the past – 88 percent of home sales were agent-assisted compared to 82 percent in 2004.
- Only nine percent of recent sellers reported selling their homes as a FSBO – sales have dropped rapidly from 2003 when they were at 14 percent.
- Understanding and performing the paperwork was the most difficult task reported by FSBO sellers, followed by getting the price right and preparing and fixing up the home for sale.
