Many homeowners have a gut feeling that their homes are worth much more then its true market value. This is just human nature - we all want to get the best price we can when selling something, especially our homes. Also, you may be enticed by a real estate agent who tells you your house can sell for a price much higher then they know are competitive, just to get your listing. Remember, the number one reason a house does not sell is because the list price is too high. Be realistic with your asking price, and your house will sell more quickly.
