I think I may be missing your point, and if so, I apologize.
When an owner is considering selling their home, it's the job of a sales agent to do a market analysis of homes that have sold in the neighborhood, determine a recommended list price, and make a recommendation to the potential lister. It's the owner that decides the actual list price.
And ultimately, it's the purchaser who sets the market value. And we have some very sophisticated purchasers who know value well. As a general rule, purchasers in TV go to open houses, look at the internet (both MLS and VLS) and talk to friends and residents. By the time they buy, they are usually well qualified to know if a home is properly listed.
