How 286,300 Homes Sold Without Agents in 2023

Did you know that in 2023, over 286,300 homeowners across the United States sold their homes through a For Sale By Owner transaction? This data comes straight from the National Association of Realtors. With more and more homeowners choosing this route, it raises a big question—why are so many people opting out of using a realtor?

Well, unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about the recent settlement that rocked the real estate industry, especially when it comes to commissions. This settlement has opened a lot of eyes to just how much homeowners are paying in commissions alone. That’s on top of closing costs, repairs, and all the other expenses that come with selling a home.

By choosing to sell For Sale By Owner, homeowners are saving thousands of dollars—keeping more of their hard-earned equity where it belongs: in their pockets.
