Correct me Dale if I'm wrong. The news article said your site had reported an average sale price up 60% from last year? Can you please direct me on your site to where i can find sale prices? Also i am wondering if that is in fact the case, you did report those numbers how you calculated those figures.
Thanks Dale.
Hi Scott,
We reported that our average asking price has increased by 60 percent since last year. We don't know what the selling prices were, because we are not involved in the negotiations or transactions.
We calculate the numbers by adding up the total dollar value of the asking price of our listings (by area) & dividing that number by the total number of listings in that area.

Scott, I hope you are not lumping real estate salespeople in with doctors and lawyers. There is only about 7 years more education required to become a lawyer, doctor or accountant.
What are the risks associated with selling privately? Lawyers are specializing in this. For about $500- $700, they consult and handle all the paperwork and money transfers.
I sold my house through this site for more than I asked. My legal fees were about $200 more than if I had a real estate agent prepare some of the paperwork. Compare that to about $8000 I saved in real estate fees.
Oh, and I am an accountant.
Bill
