Agents spend many hours training to stay on top of this industry. Don't go it alone!
Without good market analysis, most FSBO's end up selling their own homes for less than market value, usually (according to static's) for about 8 to 11 percent below market value. First they price it too high; then, when in a few months it doesn't sell, they drop the price from desperation. The first few days on the market are so critical to have it priced correctly.
Oh! and good market analysis is NOT seeing what your neighbor has his priced at, that is only a small part of the picture. He may not have done his analysis either.
