Many people will elect to erect a sign in front of the home but this is much like banner advertising and no one really pays any attention to these things. A more effective way fo marketing your house is by simply posting a listing of it on the internet.

The way some of these listing sites work is that they provide a kind of searching query thing. Someone who is looking to buy a house will go to the site and enter their details including where the house should be etc. Once they get there and find your house and see the beautiful pictures your posted on the house they will want to see it and there you have some prospective buyers for a small fee which maybe at the most about $100 or $200 or something.
