for sale by owner

For Sale By Owner (or FSBO, pronounced "fizz-bo") is a real estate term that indicates property currently for sale (or previously sold) without the assistance of a real estate agent. It can also refer to the seller of such property.

History - Long before the Internet, companies existed that assisted property sellers in selling their homes "by owner". These companies provided free computer matched listings and monthly magazines full of "by owner" listings. Their goal was to use aggressive advertising techniques to attract buyers and provide them with lists of "by owner" properties for sale.As the Internet market grew, some of these "brick and mortar" companies expanded to the Internet, while other companies took advantage of the Internet by creating Internet Only services. According to Google, there are over 75 million matches on the phrase "by owner".

Statistics - From the 2004 National Association of Realtors Profile of Homebuyers and Sellers:

17% of Homes were sold FSBO

24% of FSBOs stated that "getting the price right" was the most difficult part of selling their home

The typical FSBO home sold for about 13% less than an agent-assisted home sale.
