Learning how to sell a house by owner in Colorado Springs\u200b (FSBO) might seem like a smart way to avoid Realtor fees and keep more of your sale proceeds<\/a>. However, the FSBO route can present potholes you\u2019ll want to avoid \u2014 especially the risk of a lower sale price.<\/p>\n

Why sell a house by owner in Colorado Springs?<\/h2>\n

For some Coloradoans, selling by owner offers the appeal of saving money on agent commissions. However, your actual savings may be less than you think. A landmark NAR court settlement<\/a> helps clarify what you can expect.<\/p>\n

Historically, sellers paid about 5%\u20136%<\/a> of the home\u2019s sale price to cover both the listing agent and the buyer\u2019s agent commissions. Buyers are now responsible for their own agent commissions. This means Colorado Springs FSBO sellers might save around 2.5%\u20133%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
