Winston Salem | FSBOs Reach All-Time Low, More Sellers Rely on Agents

 

Information courtesy of National Association of Realtors.

Fewer homeowners are completing a For Sale By Owner transaction and heavily turning to real estate agents for guidance.

The number of homeowners trying to sell their home by themselves hit another record low this year—following last year’s previous low. That may be because sellers who go it alone often express regrets, while those who work with a real estate agent are reporting higher sales prices and a far less stressful experience.

For Sale By Owner transactions—better known as FSBOs—comprised just 5% of home sales during the past few years, beating out last year’s lowest on record of 7%, according to the National Association of REALTORS®’ 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Meanwhile, a record high of 91% of home sellers sold their home with the assistance of a real estate agent.

“Real estate agents remain indispensable in today’s complex housing market,” says Jessica Lautz, NAR’s deputy chief economist. “Beyond guiding buyers and sellers through what is often the largest financial decision of their lives, agents provide critical expertise, negotiation skills and emotional support during an increasingly challenging process.”

The FSBO market share has been gradually shrinking over the last four decades, even as technological advances have entered more aspects of a real estate transaction. In 1985, FSBO sales comprised up to 21% of home sales. The FSBO share has stayed mostly in the single digits since 2010.

Winston Salem | Is For Sale By Owner Worth It

 

"I WANT TO SELL MY HOME AND THE THOUGHT OF SAVING MONEY BY SELLING IT WITHOUT A REAL ESTATE AGENT IS ENTICING. FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, IS IT WORTH IT TO SELL IT BY MYSELF?"

 

Unfortunately, it could very well be a bad decision to not hire a qualified real estate agent. That's because a real estate agent's expertise in determining an initial list price and their ability to successfully market your home not to mention their experience in home sale negotiations and innumerable other areas of real estate will more than likely offset any financial savings from selling your home yourself. It's also very possible that you'll end up losing money by not using a real estate agent. According to a 2024 survey by the National Association of REALTORS, the average for sale by owner (FSBO) home sold for $380,000, while the average agent-assisted home sale was $435,00 a difference of $55,000 (12.6 percent). These averages don't include other costs for a FSBO sale such as marketing, listing photos and staging, and any required legal fees. Yes, every situation is different and you could certainly have success selling your home yourself, but if you consider that a typical agent's commission is negotiable, why take the chance that you could sell your home for so much less just to avoid that commission? In the end, if you want to maximize your profit, it's best to go with a professional.

Let me help you decide with no pressure to hire me.   Free Consultation is always part of my services.

Winston Salem Buyers | Base your negotiations on market value, not just asking price

 

My strategy is to calculate the value of a property. This, rather than the asking price, 

is the starting point for negotiation. It may require an offer above present market value in hot markets to get a home under contract. 

 Many people want to lowball, making an offer that will never be accepted. I advise against this. It does not reveal anything about the seller’s position. I like to offer just below the minimum the seller is likely willing to accept. The seller is forced to decide to accept just a little less than their minimum but, if not, will be forced to counter aggressively not to turn away a strong buyer. 

The analogy I use is tennis: It doesn’t matter how hard your first serve is. If you do not get the ball in play, that first serve is wasted.” 

 Relying on the asking price alone is risky, especially in a shifting or competitive market. Serious negotiators anchor their offers in data-backed property value, not emotion or wishful pricing. Knowing the home’s true worth helps you craft realistic offers and puts pressure on the other side to respond strategically, not defensively!
