Your list price tells buyers a great deal.

Sellers who are realistic about market prices and are ready to sell are the best to work with. Buyers shy away from over priced homes whose seller's may be unreasonable or unrealistic. Testing the market with a high sales price is a recipe for disaster when selling your home. Houses that start out too high and then lower slowly over time lose momentum in the market. Buyers who have looked for a while see it as old inventory and new buyers become suspicious about why it's been on the market so long. Pricing your home well gets the best results.
