Sentimental value means nothing
Getting caught up in the past memories of your time and items in the home should never play a role in what your home is priced at. Buyers will never care about your memories and will solely be focused on building their own.

The car salesman approach won’t work
Starting high to allow room for negotiations during the selling of your home will put you at a huge disadvantage because the majority of home buyers ignore overpriced homes. Dealing with unreasonable sellers is never a fun experience, and homes that sit unsold will leave buyers wondering ‘what’s wrong with a house.’

Cost of home upgrades
A remodeled home or even just a newly redone kitchen should increase your home’s value, but you should never price these upgrades at their actual value. Some of your upgrades could be worth more than what you paid based on what overall value it brings to your home. Your realtor will be able to offer better insight on how to calculate the best pricing on your upgrades in your home. It could be more than you paid or less.
