For sale by owner? Here’s good news…
While FSBO motivation is generally financial, statistics show that selling a home with the assistance of a Realtor will actually result in a higher profit. According to the National Association of Realtor’s, the average FSBO sales price was $217,700, while the average price for a home represented by an agent was $295,000, a difference of $77,300!
Therefore, listing with a real estate agent benefits the seller!

Naples Market Analysis
Broker analysts who reviewed the October Market Report anticipate more sellers will enter the market over the next few months as the lure of paradise is already beckoning seasonal and foreign visitors back to our shores now that many international travel restrictions have been lifted and the threat of COVID-19 has been reduced. The report shows pre-season interest already in play as October’s pending sales (1,186 pending sales) and showings (33,578) were above summer month levels
Inventory continues to shrink …. however, is there relief on the horizon? There is definitely an intolerance to price as reductions are finally taking place with an increase of median sale price up from $365,000 to $450,000 in 2021.
