To answer David's question, the house went under contract in early July, but your websites were definitely helpful, because I did not know about many of them until you mentioned it. I gave you a 'helpful' rating on your post :) I think the biggest asset that I have with a FSBO is the ability to give more concessions, such as price reductions or other buyer incentives, when needed. - Wed Aug 27 2008, 11:39
Yes, I sold the house in July. Thanks to everyone for your answers! - Sat Aug 16 2008, 20:26
Thanks to everyone for the quick response to my question! When I had first purchased this home, it was a fixer upper and the county tax appraisal was ~$108,000 for 2007. I had the place fixed up only to find out that the tax appraisal for 2008 was reduced (probably because of the condition of the property at the time of the appraisal as well as the overall market condition). I have the home listed at $109,900 right now, which is one of the lowest priced 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes in Overland Park. It seems like I just need to have more patience as we ARE in a slower market right now. Due to the effort I've already invested in listing the property myself, I plan to keep this as a FSBO for now and hopefully, it will sale without me having to reduce the price further :) - Fri Jun 27 2008, 16:22
