Did you know that only 2% of all For Sale by Owner homes actually sell?  Yes, that is correct.  97% of homes are sold through the MLS and/or Real Estate Agents.  (the other 1% are private deed transactions).

90% of all for sale by owner eventually list with an agent several months down the road.  And in a falling market (like now), this has the effect of generating an even lower NET at closing.   How about waiting until Spring?  Again, in a falling market (prices through Spring 2011 are expected to fall 12 to 14%), this means approximately $28,750 less for your home, at an asking price of $250,000, or $46,000  lower net for a $400,000 home.  Too big a number to comprehend?  Here's an easier one: 

$159 per day of equity lost if you're priced at $250k, and

$255 per day of draining cash for the $400k home - when you put it off 'til Spring.
