I would rather buy a home for 400,000 than 424,000. Who wouldn’t?
You don't really believe that homes for sale by owner are priced lower than those with an agent. If the market will bring in $424,00 the seller would be a fool to ask $400,000. You gain nothing by buying from an individual owner however the owner gains a lot.
