The Problem
Home sellers receive conflicting listing price recommendations from realtors, with some advising to underprice by $100k+ while others suggest market rate. Buyers worry about overpaying when agents use cherry-picked comps. There's no objective tool to validate which comparable sales are legitimate and what price is truly fair market value.

Suggested listing price not matching up
I have talked to five different realtors. Two have given me legitimate comps and suggested a reasonable listing price given what other homes of similar size and condition are going for. Three have told me my house is trash and I should list it $100-200k below comps and hope a developer buys it for the land. My house is fine, it's got granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The floor plan looks like something out of the early 90s, but the roof is new, the two HVAC units are new, the water heater is new, the paint and flooring are new. It's a decent house now, and it was a decent enough house when I bought it. I've updated a few things since I got it, nothing major, just stuff that needed to get done to be able to safely live in it (on a hill so about $50,000 on that nonsense) and a few things to be happier with the cosmetics. Why do realtors vary so much in suggested listing price? Why would one suggest $450k (granted, he didn't come with comps, and hounded me for three days so I think we know what's up with that one) and another $645k (she did come with comps)? Even when they come with comps, it can be $645 or $599 as their suggestion for where to list it. Like, I understand that 3% of $1000 is $30, but 3% of $10,000 is $300. Surely it matters to the realtor whether we list at $599 or $645? That's a $1380 difference in their pocket. Or is it that simple? They know the house will sell quickly so it's an easy win at $599 vs it might take a week or two at $645? What's the actual thing going on here?
Realtor Advice Check
Selling home. My Realtors provided comps are $629K. I’m in a desirable neighborhood with no homes currently for sale. Realtor suggested I list at $599K with open house day of listing (coming soon a few days prior). Realtor stated we will get more traffic at $599K and expects multiple offers getting me to at least the comps $629K. But did say impossible to guarantee. Does this make sense? I get the concept of more potential looks but does this strategy work or should I just list at the area comps? Not in rush to sell but winter coming so fall is my window.
Am I overpaying for this house
My husband and I offered 650k for this house, but the owner countered at 657,400 and we accepted the counter. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1120-American-Elm-St-Lake-Orion-MI-48360/24355983_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare Here is the original listing file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/86/06/95A87375-1C99-401C-AAEA-B61EB1B8F72A/1120%20American%20Elm%20Old%20Listing.pdf Here is are the comps: file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/34/04/2056C523-0886-420D-B8FC-E5C0F632C5F3/1120%20American%20Elm%20Comps.pdf
Price/selecting realtor advice
Hi all! So I’m currently interviewing listing agents for my home. For context, I have a 3 bed, 1 bath, new hvac/windows/roof/hot water heater/kitchen completely upgraded and I’ve been in the home for 7 years. I also have way more closet space/storage than my neighboring homes The comps within my actual neighborhood are not great, range from $250k-highest at $288.7k and that one has a half bath. The neighborhood across the street (same schools/bus line/<.5 miles away), have comparable comps to my house ranging from $265k-$315k. One realtor has told me to list at $285k but two others have said they feel confident I will get $300k. They said verbatim, you have the nicest house in your neighborhood and beautiful upgrades. If we can get someone in the door, it will sell. The two realtors that said price closer to $300k pulled comps from neighborhood across the street (not my direct neighborhood), bc they are 3 bed, 1 bath and my neighborhood is MOSTLY 3 bed 1.5 or 2 bath. My neighborhood isn’t the most desirable area of town, but it’s quiet and has been wonderful for me. I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot by wanting to list higher and go with one of these realtors, but I also want to maximize my profits. Do comps count for neighborhoods across the street with literally the exact same “reputation/feel” as my neighborhood? We are also waiting to list until late Jan/early Feb.

ChatGPT also said $299k with $5k in closing cost from seller in description was a winning strategy. We are also waiting to list until late Jan/early Feb.
