-- CANADA – Propertysold.ca, a leading For Sale By Owner (FSBO) real estate listing website, is experiencing its best end-of-the-year finish in 7 years. The purpose of the website is to bring Canadian buyers and sellers together.
While November and December are typically the worst months for Propertysold.ca in terms of the number of transactions on the website, this year a different pattern has developed. The result is more action than the website has seen during this time for the last 7 years.
Because the economic recovery predicted for 2014 started small and slowly progressed throughout 2014, it is in a much stronger position now than the beginning of the year. Propertysold.ca says this helps explain the increase in real estate website traffic and why the outlook for the real estate market in 2015 is favorable.
In addition, the lower gas prices forecasted, low inflation and a better overall economy are also expected to bolster the current upward trend in real estate, which is more good news for real estate listing websites like Propertysold.ca.
As a website for private sellers of Canadian real estate, Propertysold.ca was not designed to replace the professional realtor, but to assist private sellers in being their own agent. Support includes marketing properties for sale through the use of comprehensive online listings and professional home marketing tools including yard signs, tracking statistics and a full lead management system.
The private sale method can be used to sell residential, rural and commercial properties. Private sellers are essentially performing the duties of agents on their own behalf.
While working with a listing agent and a buyer’s agent on each side of a transaction can make selling a home easier for many, total commissions paid out can be up to 6 percent of the sale price of a home in Canada. For some this may seem worth it, but those willing to put in the work to market and show their own home can potentially save thousands.
The National Association of Realtors states more than 90 percent of home buyers are turning to the Internet for help in finding a new home or property. Real estate agents list properties online for their clients, so as a private seller it is essential to list on a quality, high-traffic website as well.
While Propertysold.ca receives no commission fees for real estate sales, it has several flat rate FSBO packages available, including a free basic package, a basic plus package and a premium package. Package options increase as the price goes up, including the amount of time a property is listed on Propertysold.ca and the number of photos allowed.
