Sell Your Home For 16.98% More Gain By Listing With A Realtor

 

Why We Use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

 

Based on a recent study by Bright MLS, the median sale price for on-MLS properties was 16.98% more than the median sale price for homes sold off-MLS.

 

 

 

This represents a difference of $45,000 to the owners of a median-priced home. 

 

1.  Our membership in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) puts your home in front of nearly every agent working with potential buyers.

 

 

2. When we place your home on the MLS, it is displayed on nearly every real estate company website and on top real estate search apps.

 

3. Not placing a home on the MLS could cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

 

4. Working with us and listing your home on the MLS produces better results for you.

 

 

Bright On/Off MLS Study

 

74% of sales were identified as being marketed and sold on-MLS and 26% were identified as sold off-MLS. 

 

 

 

 

Homes promoted on the MLS sold for 16.98% MORE when compared to homes sold off the MLS.

 

Listing and Public Record data was analyzed and used to capture sales with some exceptions made to ensure comparisons of like properties.

 

When square footage was factored in, mid-sized homes had a median on-MLS performance difference of 18% MORE THAN mid-sized homes sold off-MLS. 

 

 

The findings are clear: Homes promoted through the MLS sell faster and for more money.

Why You Shouldn't Sell On Your Own Even in A Sellers Market

WHY NOT TO SELL ON YOUR OWN JUST BECAUSE ITS A SELLERS MARKET

FOR FSBO SELLERS: 

In a sellers’ market, some homeowners might be tempted to try to sell their house on their own (known as For Sale By Owner, or FSBO) instead of working with a trusted real estate professional. When the inventory of homes for sale is as low as it is today, buyers are eager to snatch up virtually any house that comes to market. This makes it even more tempting to FSBO. As a result, some sellers think selling their house will be a breeze and see today’s market as an opportunity to FSBO. Let’s unpack why that’s a big mistake and may actually cost you more in the long run.

According to the Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers published by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 41% of homeowners who tried to sell their house as a FSBO did so to avoid paying a commission or fee. In reality, even in a sellers’ market, selling on your own likely means you’ll net a lower profit than when you sell with the help of an agent.

The NAR report explains:

FSBOs typically sell for less than the selling price of other homes; FSBO homes sold at a median of $217,900 in 2020 (up from $200,000 in 2019), and still far lower than the median selling price of all homes at $242,300. Agent-assisted homes sold for a median of $295,000…Sellers who began as a FSBO, then ended up working with an agent, received 98 percent of the asking price, but had to reduce their price the most before arriving at a final listing price.”

When the seller knew the buyer, that amount was even lower, coming in at $176,700 (See graph below):

 

That’s a lot of money to risk losing when you FSBO – far more than what you’d save on commission or other fees. Despite the advantages sellers have in today’s market, it’s still crucial to have the support of an expert to guide you through the process. Real estate professionals are trained negotiators with a ton of housing market insights that average homeowners may never have. An agent’s expertise can alleviate much of the stress of selling your house and help you close the best possible deal when you do.

 

Bottom Line

 

If you’re ready to sell your house this year and you’re considering doing so on your own, be sure to think through that decision carefully. Odds are, you stand to gain the most by working with a knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent.
