Most sellers know the realistic current sale price for their area.
Over the years wife and I have sold quite a few properties.
We always 'overpriced' in the hope of doing better than the market, but would 'reluctantly' accept an offer at our market price.
This always made the buyer happy, as they could tell their friends how they beat down the seller, and stole a bargain.
Both parties are happy!
