• All sellers in the Home Buyer and Seller survey reported a median sales price of $204,900.
• Among sales types there is a difference in sales prices reported by recent sellers.
• The median sales price of a FSBO home reported was $153,000. The median sales price of an agent-assisted sale reported was $211,000.
• There are a number of factors that play into the sales price of a home, including whether a FSBO seller knew the home buyer. If the seller knew the buyer the median sales price reported was $150,100.
• Agent-assisted sales can be broken down into two categories. Those who first tried to sell their home as a FSBO and those who were only agent assisted. Those who tried to sell their home as a FSBO first had a slightly lower median sales price.
• The Home Buyer and Seller survey collects data annually from recent home buyers and sellers.  For a complete 2009 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers - available free only for REALTOR® members this tear - click here.
