Comparative Market Analysis

Week 1

Overpricing is the #1 FSBO killer. Pull 6 months of sold comps within 0.5 miles and the same school zone. Adjust for lot size, age, condition, and upgrades. The Baton Rouge market is hyper-local — a street can mean $30k in either direction.

Pro tip:Even as a FSBO seller, you'll likely offer a buyer's agent commission (2–3%) to attract represented buyers. Budget this into your net proceeds calculation. Total transaction cost is typically 3–5% vs. 5–6% with a listing agent.
