[GoofyGoofT]

My aunt is selling her house and moving to a retirement home.
She seems to be happy about it cause her friends moved there too.

What do you guys think about the listing?
Do you think it is a good price to start at?

Depending on your competition, it might be worth some elbow grease to remove that green kitchen wallpaper, and replace those brass ceiling lamps. Why does the listing say "updated kitchen?"

That site is pretty cool! I agree with the overpriced. Especially since the interior appears to be confused about which time period it's in.

Thats an understatement. Its priced 50% higher than most of the zillow values for the area.

LOL. Zillow is not a guide for pricing.

Anyways, if she doesn't need the money it might make sense to drop it to comparable levels to the other properties in the area even when those other properties are smaller and have less land.

Remember, each month she sits on it, its costs her money.

no shit. zillows accuracy depends on the location. certainly will get you in the ballpark and give you an idea. it's actually spot on for my house...

Call a pro, a realtor they have MLS and will tell you.

Zestimates are notoriously inaccurate. At least last time I actually investigated them.

So far the house has not sold and they have only had one offer.

It is a tough market. My in-laws finally sold their home after having it on the market for 6 to 8 months.

I echo what the others have said -- the asking price is too high.
