With the economy still slumping and the housing market in a free fall a common question these days is where to post free home listings? Finding places that allow you to post free home listings is ever increasing in popularity as the number of people trying to avoid the costs involved with a realtor is every increasing. These types of homes are known as ‘For Sale by Owner’ or FSBO.
While the real estate boom may have come and gone, the buying and selling of homes continues and there are several different sites in which you can post free home listings. Why? Sites that allow you to post free home listings are often sites that are visited by tons of online traffic and can afford to give free services because they have advertising on their websites. Other sites offer a free service, but also an enhanced pay service. Either way, the site is making money and allowing you to post your home listing free so you might as well take advantage. Again, there are several sites that now allow this, but three great sites that stand out are:
1. Craigslist.org: Craigslist is known for its plain vanilla website that produces amazing results in selling just about anything. The site is broken down into many different categories and run like a huge classified section in the newspaper. Under real estate offered, there is a place for real estate by owner. Fill out the details and put in the pictures and your home is listed for everyone to see within minutes. What is nice about Craigslist is that they not only break down the US by states, but by region as well. You will need an account to post your free home listing with Craigslist, but it is free and only takes a few minutes to get.
2. Zillow.com: Unlike Craigslist, Zillow only focuses on real estate. They have many resources to choose from for both buyer and sellers alike and they now feature the ability for you to post your home for free. This will require your registration, which is also free, and once you are registered you can list your home free of charge easily with the step by step instructions provided online. Zillow boasts million of visitors per month so the chances of your home being viewed by potential buyers are very good. Zillow can even offer you help in determining what your home is worth before you post it.
3. FREEhomeownerlistings.com: While not as well known as Craigslist and Zillow, FREEhomeownerlistings has many wonderful resources to help you sell your home. They offer free listings for home owners who wish to sell, homeowners who wish to rent, and allow anyone to browse the listings – all for free. Use of their services requires registration and is only for basic service, which is still pretty good. You can upgrade to a higher level of service to provide even more exposure for your property if that is your desire, but it will cost you.
Finding a potential buyer for your home is only a few free home postings away. Now you too can avoid many of the costs normally associated with selling a home when using a realtor and keep the savings for yourself.
