Plop, Plop, FSBO - Has the FSBO Market Fizzled?

 
Weston - November 25, 2005:
 
The purchase market has changed.  Mortgage interest rates are up;  prices are leveling off.
 
What does this mean for those sellers of homes electing not to use the services of a Realtor?  That collection of folks listing their homes themselves, a/k/a, "For Sale by Owner" ("FSBO")?
 
One thing's for sure.  It's not a seller's market anymore. 
 
Gone are the days when a FSBO could list his home in places like Coral Springs, Weston, Parkland, Plantation or Boca Raton and receive 5 full price offers within a matter of hours.
 
It's more difficult now.  Homes are staying on the market 30, 45, 60 days and longer.
 
How does a FSBO market his home?  It ain't easy.  He's competing with homes featured on the multiple listing service, ads in newspapers, magazines and so forth.  It's not a fair fight!
 
So many FSBO's are doing the unthinkable -they're calling up the Realtors that they shunned, hats in hand, and asking for a little expert help.   It's not as easy as they thought.
 
And you know what?  Most Realtors don't hold any hard feelings.  They're here to lend a hand.
 
We're priviliged to work with several smart, high-quality Realtors.  If you need the name of a good Realtor specializing in your area, call us at the office - 954.236.4500.
