A FSBO is a "For Sale By Owner" where the owner has elected to try to sell their home on their own.These homes are often difficult to see because the owners must be present-which of course makes many buyers uncomfortable.Again, have a REALTOR® represent you in the purchase. Many FSBO's are willing to pay and cooperate with a buyers agent who brings a buyer to them.Your REALTOR® will be able to do a CMA to see if the house is priced according to the comperable home sales in the area.

Some sellers have made so many improvements and additions to their homes, that the homes are valued at more than the market will bear. In order to sell these homes, the homesellers price their homes at what they want the home to sell for, not at what the home is worth. A buyer should never pay more for a home because the seller needs the extra money, or has ever built for the neighborhood.
