What Is the Best Way to Sell a House in Arleta Right Now?

By Listlly · Full MLS listing with a licensed agent for a 1% commission instead of the traditional 6%.

For most Arleta homeowners the best way is a full MLS listing with a licensed agent at a 1% commission — which is what Listlly does — because the $776,000 median sale (up 13.7% from a year earlier) and 19-day median time to close show the open market is still paying full value, and 1% instead of 6% keeps $38,800 more of it. A cash offer makes sense only when speed matters more than price; FSBO makes sense only if you can live without the MLS.
