See the AskMe Feature Below.
“For Sale By Owner” homes very often overpriced
No-one denies that, on occasion, you can negotiate directly with the sellers and save money. However, most buyers assume that if they buy directly from an owner they will get a lower price. Since the owners wouldn’t have to pay a commission, they could pass along their savings to the buyers. But why would they want to? Most sellers don’t take on the burden and expense of selling their own home so they can give buyers a better price. They do it to pocket more money for themselves. Philadelphia real estate sellers are no different!
In fact, as often as not, people selling their own homes overprice them. They’re hoping to find some “bargain-hunting” buyers who will be hoodwinked into believing they are saving money because there’s no agent involved. In addition, even if the home appears to be priced right, it may suffer from hidden defects. Buyers moving in from out of town to Philadelphia Pennsylvania are the most vulnerable to assessing the value of For Sale By Owners. The home may be a steal compared to house prices in their home town, but may not be a good deal here in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Many buyers start their Philadelphia Pennsylvania home search randomly. They see a home listed on a Philadelphia Real Estate site and in their initial excitement call the listing agent.

The city of Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the fifth most populous city in the United States. It is the county seat of Philadelphia County. It is colloquially referred to as The City of Brotherly Love (from Greek: F??ad??fe?a, /fi.la.'d?l.f?j.a/, "brotherly love" from philos "love" and adelphos "brother"). In 2005 the United States Census Bureau estimated the population of the city proper to be 1.4 million. Philadelphia is a major commercial, educational, and cultural center for the nation. The Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metropolitan area is the fifth-largest in the U.S. as of the 2006 estimate with a population of 5.8 million (fourth largest according to official 2000 census). In the 18th century, the city was the first capital and most populous city of the United States. At that time, it eclipsed Boston and New York City in political and social importance, with Benjamin Franklin taking a large role in Philadelphia's rise. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
