Figure: Top U.S. states by FSBO (For Sale By Owner) market share in 2026.

Data reflects estimated FSBO percentage of total home sales by state, based on industry reporting (HouseCashin and RubyHome summaries). FSBO activity remains a small share of total U.S. housing transactions nationally (approx. 5 - 10% overall), with higher concentrations in select states.

Figure: Florida FSBO market structure (2026).

Florida statewide FSBO rate is 7.65% of listings. Metro-level values (Tampa, Orlando, Miami) reflect relative FSBO activity intensity based on market concentration patterns rather than precise published percentages, as city-level FSBO breakdowns are not formally reported.
