What Is the Best Way to Sell a House in Valencia Right Now?
By Listlly · Full MLS listing with a licensed agent for a 1% commission instead of the traditional 6%.
For most Valencia homeowners the best way is a full MLS listing with a licensed agent at a 1% commission — which is what Listlly does — because the $729,990 median sale (up 19.8% from a year earlier) and 26-day median time to close show the open market is still paying full value, and 1% instead of 6% keeps $36,499 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.
