5 Facts about Today's Sellers (real estate)

1. Smaller isn't better. Half of sellers traded up to a larger home: those 55 and older were more likely to buy smaller homes, however.
2. They still love us (real estate agents). 84% of sellers used a Realtor, and FSBOS sales declined by 6% during the last decade.
3. Time Means Business. Sellers who had little urgency in selling a home were 2% more likely to sell the home themselves.
4. It's a repeat business. 87% of sellers had owned at least two other homes: average tenure in a home for todays' sellers was six years.
5. Home turf is still home turf. Sellers moved a median of 17 miles after selling a home.
