The number one reason people lose money on their home sale is "Wrong-pricing." They assume their home is worth ‘x’ dollars without researching the value, put their house on the market, try to sell it for more or less than it’s worth, and never realize their mistake.

Your home might have something to offer that the other one didn’t. Let the CMA be your guide, and get the advice of a real estate professional.
