It seems sellers want to use every type of method to price their home except the market conditions. You might as well sit down and play spin the bottle.

The other players at the table are:

I owe this much. (Check out my new car and boat)

I want this much. ( I think you can sell a Yugo for $50,000 if you run an ad on the Superbowl)

I need this much. (Buyers care how much I need)

I don't really need to sell. ( I just want to waste your time and money)

My brother is an agent in another state and he said its worth .... (and he knows more about this market than you do)

The house across the street is priced at ......(it's been on the market for 2 years with no offers)

Pricing your home with any method other than market conditions and comparable sales will result in loosing the shirt off your back, your socks and possibly your shorts.

If you are looking to sell in Big Bear, pricing your property correctly is the single most important thing your agent can help you with.
