FSBO rules in Arizona
What Tempe FSBO sellers should know.
Required disclosures
Arizona requires a written seller property disclosure for most residential sales. Federal lead-paint disclosure applies to any home built before 1978. You handle disclosures directly with your closing professional, Home Posted just provides the marketing space.
Who closes the deal
Arizona closings run through a licensed escrow agent, not an attorney, which keeps your closing-side costs lower than most states.
Who's buying in Tempe
Phoenix metro is one of the most competitive cash-buyer markets in the U.S., which usually means a higher offer for you. Smaller markets like Yuma, Flagstaff, and Sierra Vista get fewer offers per home, another reason to let multiple independent buyers compete.

FAQ
Questions Tempe FSBO sellers ask us.
- How much can I save listing FSBO in Tempe?
- Roughly $18,500 on a typical Tempe home. Home Posted FSBO listings are free, you avoid the 5–6% agent commission entirely. You may still owe buyer-agent compensation if the buyer is represented; many Tempe FSBO sellers offer 2–3% to attract agents while still saving the listing-side commission.

- Median FSBO time-to-contract in Tempe runs around 45 days when the home is priced right and presented well. Underpriced and well-photographed FSBO homes can go pending in under 14 days; overpriced ones can sit indefinitely.
- Do I have to put my Tempe FSBO on the MLS?
- No, Home Posted's marketplace gives you direct exposure to retail buyers and to our pre-screened cash-buyer network without the MLS. If you want MLS exposure too, you can pair our listing with a flat-fee MLS service (typically $300–$500 in Arizona) and still avoid the listing-agent commission.
- What disclosures do I need to make as a Arizona FSBO seller?
- Arizona requires a written seller's property disclosure for most residential sales, defects you actually know about, not what an inspector might find.

- Can I get a backup cash offer while my Tempe home is listed FSBO?

- Who handles closing on an FSBO sale in Tempe?
