@David Dachtera  If you haven't heard the story of Colonel Sanders and how he got into KFC, you ought to google it. 

Do your due diligence upfront on the person (simple google search with their name and lawsuit or scam can weed out many - as well as a search on BP)2.

Google has invested over $1b 10 miles away.  

Go back, re-read it, google the "hard" words you don't understand like what is "local government". 

Just think about how often you look for pages 7 or 8 when you search for something on Google or buy something on Amazon.

This was more interesting when Google streetview was a new and novel thing.

Meaning, if you google Dorchester, MA (community in Boston) the safety rating it going to look awful because it compares it to a national average.

To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell

You can Zillow search to see the progress using the google map there.

The city is rapidly growing with many companies choosing to move and develop here like Intel, Google, Honda, Amazon, Meta, etc.
