The Psycho(logy) (of) Pricing Your Home

Click on the title to link. Probably the single biggest thing we hear and see as to why homes are not selling (besides the fact that buyers are buying) is that people are psycho about what they want to sell their home for. We know, we know, you have put blah, blah, blah into the house, and it has to be worth X. Well, that just aint how it works.

This is a good article regarding the psychology behind pricing your home. Read through it and let us know what you think. What questions does it raise in your mind? Remember this, reality is a bitter pill to swallow. You cannot price your home on what you wish it was worth, what you need for it, or what you would like to get out of it (unless of course you want it to sit there for sale). If you want to sell your home then it will get what the market will bare, and what comps dictate it is worth. Right now, it's just may make you psycho.
