Home Seller Survey Shows Rising Number of FSBOs
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 19, 2007 -- The increased resources available on the Internet resulted in more consumers having confidence in their ability to successfully sell or buy a home without a real estate agent. This confidence is well founded, as evidenced by the recent poll conducted by a real estate website (http://www.fizber.com/) Fizber.com. The survey was released today by Fizber.com.
The number of FSBO sellers has risen dramatically over time, increasing from only 7 percent of buyers in 2000 to 27 percent in 2007. According to the National Association of Realtors, 2007 will close with a total of nearly 700,000 successful "for sale by owner" (http://www.fizber.com/South-Dakota/buy-Single-Family-home-1435242.html) transactions in markets across the country, resulting in the savings of nearly $9 billion estimated by a real estate website ForSaleByOwner.com.
"Facebook Polls are an easy way to get quick answers to your questions", says Julia Foster, Vice President of Marketing, Fizber.com. "We ran a Facebook poll last week asking those between 24 and 64 years of age "How would you list your house for sale?". The results based upon a sample of over 300 responses are hardly scientific but interesting nonetheless."
The poll took less than 24 hours to complete. Here are the results:
How would you sell your house? * 20% would try to sell it on Facebook * 27% would list it FSBO * 53% would list it with a Realtor
