[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking of listing our house in 22101 on Kirby Road near the intersection of Kirby and Old Dominion. I’ve contacted several Realtors, and the estimates they’ve given me all fall in the same range, 1.2 to 1.4 million. I think that is low compared to other sales in the area, so I’m wondering if these realtors are undervaluing the property Just to get a quick sale and whether I should keep looking for someone else.

Our house is 2,800 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms on a 0.38-acre lot. It was built in 2003 and renovated in 2019. There aren’t many true comps in the immediate area on Kirby Road. I did find one house a few blocks away on Kirby that has a pending sale at 1.3  which puzzles me because it is smaller and seems less desirable. It was listed “as is.” The lot is slightly smaller at 0.22 acres and the square footage is listed at 2,008, which seems odd for four bedrooms and five bathrooms, but listing numbers can sometimes be off. Here is a link to the Zillow listing for that house.

Given that, I don’t understand how a realtor can suggest pricing my house around the same number as a smaller, “as is” property in worse condition. Are these realtors pushing for a quick sale by recommending a lower price? I think my house should sell for more than a smaller, less updated home in the same neighborhood, and I believe 1.7 [url]is realistic. Should I keep looking for another realtor? I don’t want someone who will simply agree to whatever price I choose if it isn’t realistic, only for me to end up settling for less later.
