A Milton Massachusetts FSBO just saved over $22,000 selling their own single family home without a Realtor. April Fools’ joke, or, the truth? Well, it’s true.

The latest home to sell in Milton is 94 Nahanton Avenue Milton, MA 02186. It was listed for sale by owner for $895,000 and sold for $895,000. Yes, that’s full asking price, and a 100% sale to list price ratio.

It probably stayed on the market a long time to get that price, right?

It sold in 5 days. That’s 17 times faster than the average Milton Massachusetts home sold over the past 6 months. On average, single family Milton homes listed for sale by Realtors are on the market for 86 days before selling. A relatively large sample size of sold homes exists, as there have been over 115 single family home sales in Milton over the past 6 months.

Well, clearly the FSBO took a lower sale price than what the market will bear in order to sell that quickly?
