It looks like Consumer Reports reported that FSBO's made up less than 1% of the overall market in 2008, but I am seeing other "national statistics" as high as 20%. After feeling a little agent-exploited when we bought our first home, I sold it by-owner a couple of years later. Recently, I chose to buy a home without an agent, because the process seemed clearer without involving the middle-man interests of a buyer's agent. Just looking at signs around my own town, I'd guess the number to be somewhere in the middle. Do you have any suggested resources for reliable information on this? Do you see the FSBO trend increasing? Hi,
