A real estate for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) site Fizber.com launches a new feature for home buyers; Fizber’s new service allows homebuyers to check what the climate is like in another town or city all year round before they move there. The following feature was designed to help people avoid potential problems when they move to a new town, city or state and make it easier to enjoy a relaxing, stress free life there. Weather and climate are the most important factors for homebuyers when it comes time to choose the best place to live. It’s one thing to buy a house in one’s own ZIP code. It’s another to look at homes for sale online. When deciding where to live, think about the kind of activities you enjoy and how much weather will affect those activities. What kind of weather can you expect this time of year? Can you still do gardening there? Now real estate for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) site Fizber.com is making it easy to answer those questions.

Climate information is very important to most buyers, for a variety of reasons

When looking for the best place to live, whether you’re retiring, going to school or looking for a fresh start, it’s a good idea to look at a variety of components that go into creating that ideal place – just for you. Along with a detailed description of each property for sale, Fizber.com visitors can view current and average temperature and climate data for each listing (e.g. http://www.fizber.com/197872).

“Climate information is very important to most buyers, for a variety of reasons,” said Julia Foster, Fizber.com PR manager. “If skiing is your favorite thing to do, you shouldn’t move to Florida, perhaps, and if you hate cold weather, you probably will not enjoy moving to a city in Alaska.

“Unfortunately, though, real estate Web sites–both traditional and FSBO–rarely show any information about a neighborhood’s weather or climate. Fizber.com makes it simple to get more information about a community before viewing a home in person. We’re sure these features will save homebuyers time and money.”

Once buyers have found a suitable home for sale and done an initial check of the neighborhood via www.Fizber.com, the site provides resources for next steps, including real estate forms and references for real estate appraisers, mortgage lenders and moving companies. Contacting sellers is simple; Fizber.com lists the owner’s complete contact information at the click of a mouse.

Launched in July, Fizber.com has quickly become the FSBO service of choice for its functionality, innovative marketing solutions and affordable pricing. The company was the first to provide a free FSBO blog to each seller to use as a custom marketing tool, and Fizber.com places its listings in over 70 other FSBO and social network Web sites, allowing sellers to maximize their online exposure–all while saving thousands in real estate broker fees.

But Fizber.com is more than just a FSBO site. The company has a blog for homebuyers and sellers, with such topics as FSBO selling and buying tips, selling by owner vs. through a real estate broker, and questions and answers about buying and selling by owner. Fizber.com has also integrated the best Web 2.0 features, including providing map, satellite or hybrid map/satellite images buyers can use to view a neighborhood on the street level or as a way to search for homes in specific areas.

“A home is the largest, most important purchase most people will ever make,” Foster explained. “Fizber.com is committed to providing the necessary information to make the experience as positive as possible.”
