Florida Is Most Popular FSBO State


Fizber Announces Top FSBO States in the U.S.

Fizber.com, a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) website, has recently made a research on the most popular FSBO markets in the U.S.

In the list of top FSBO selling, no-commission states, Florida has an edge over New York, with over 2600 homes for sale by owner currently listed. States like Illinois, New Jersey, and California are also on the rise when it comes to FSBO listings. Close to 25% of all homes sold in the United States are being sold by their owners without commission, and homebuyers are using the Internet more than ever now as a powerful searching tool to find homes in the areas they want to move in.

Going FSBO in Florida is nearly as popular as using a realtor nowadays. FSBO, by the way, means “for sale by owner” and indicates the seller is willing to forgo real estate agents to avoid paying commissions. In short, the buyer gets a better deal and the seller makes more money. The FSBO market is strong throughout Florida, but particularly mention has to be made of Miami.

The FSBO Miami market is so popular it is hard to imagine a real estate agent surviving.

Such cities as Miami (22% out of 100% FL visits), Tampa (21,4%), Orlando (18,8%), Jacksonville (6%), Boca Raton (3%) getting in total more than 70% of all the Florida visits on FSBO websites leave less than 30% to all other cities and towns in this particular regions. Such a big concentration of interest to FSBO real estate awards Florida start the first place in this industry showing the greatest potential of this state for both buyer and sellers.

New York State gains the 2nd place in a FSBO research made by Fizber.com. NY towns popularity can be described as dramatically low in comparison with FL places. The most popular NY FSBO cities are: New York city (47% NY visits), Albany (6,2%), Rochester (2,6%), Syracuse (2,4%), Buffalo (2,1%).

    And why is Florida the most popular FSBO state . . . The housing market in Florida is the worst out of the entire nation, the sellers have to lower the prices of their properties so much that if they stick with a realtor they’re going to end up upside down. That and, the sellers realize the realtors aren’t producing too many results so they decide to give it a shot on their own.

    FSBO Property in Florida is growing like oranges. The problem is that for the longest time Floridians were used to doing it themselves as they really could sell for the longest time without a Realtor. Unfortunately unless it is really agressively priced AND marketed it will be a daughnting task.

    I practiced real estate law for 20 years and now as a Realtor I see FSBO’s making mistakes all the time to their detriment. Honestly, sometimes real estate agents are not any better at marketing. The only thing I can do to help is to educate. I like discovering new Internet resources like Fizber.com. Thanks for posting this.

  6. Kevin:

    It all boils down to what money you have available, The top reason for selling at the moment is due to mortgage repayments being so high, So if you want to save the commission to the agents , then selling by yourself is the best option.
    It’s not just in the USA there are property selling problems, The UK is getting worse and morgage products have decreased by an unbelievable amount.
    The governments need to address this issue……

  7. John Parr:

    Using an agent is for people who don’t want to work at selling their home and are willing to pay the 6% to pay someone else to. It’s that simple.
    Using a company like fizber is a smart alternative, allowing you to combine your own personal knowledge with the professional advertising and assistance of a nationwide company. Think of the things a typical real estate agent provides, and look at what Buy Owner does. A sign in the front yard? Check. Marketing materials? Check. Helpful real estate information? Check. Buy Owner clients actually receive more than that: nationwide advertising, professional photographs, property descriptions written by an in-house writing staff, customer service… Plus, there’s the added benefit of all the advertising linking back to the seller directly.

    You can sell a house in any market if you know how. Real Estate agents are not always you answer. You just need to know where to go to get information.
