    Hi Chris,

    This is just an informational infographic created by the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.), and is meant to reflect the California market. It is obviously not detailed to specific areas, but is merely an overview. I have written blogs on this topic myself that pertain to my specific market here in North San Diego. I like to throw these infographics on my blog site sometimes because they tend to be interesting, but by no means are they detailed to specific markets.

    FSBO’s are often clueless on marketing, the paperwork and many times are sold a worthless sell your own home FSBO package. In Florida no matter who sells the home the price is determined by the mortgage banks appraiser. FSBO’s overprice their home and this causes a massive delay in selling their home. By the time they come to their senses if they are in a high foreclose area they will have lost more even value on there home. The stats given in your example is very general. It might be many of the FSBO homes were sold were in high foreclosure areas and so the value were significantly less than similar homes in ZIP codes that don’t have foreclosure. The article does not say how many homes were sold by real estate agents and how many were sold by FSBO’s. So as we have no idea what the articles figures are based on it’s a very generalized and misleading article.
