I apologize if you felt I was saying all FSBO's are overpriced. I don't believe that is the case. I agree with Aln, some are and some aren't.

I was just offering my humble opinion: "FSBOs are traditionally often overpriced" because that was my experience in the twenty years I was a Real Estate Broker.

It is often difficult for owners to evaluate their homes unemotionally when they set value. But if they know prices and values, as Aln suggested, and price their home reasonably, a FSBO can be a good deal.
