Now, if a computer tells you that your home should be priced at $250,000, but your real estate agent tells you that there’s simply no way that it could sell above $225,000 based on market comparables in the neighborhood, who are you most likely to listen to? It’s oh so tempting to go with the computer’s opinion.
After all, aren’t computers objective? How could their calculations possibly be wrong?
