Should you list your Farmington Hills home at a above market price now?

I had a old client call me last May to sell their Farmington Hills home.  At the time they called me they had three foreclosures in their neighborhood.  I brought them all the recent sold homes in the area.  I figured the max the house would appraise for was $185,000 because most of the homes sold in the low $170,000.

The sellers wanted to move quick and sell quick to move to Florida.  There was a home they wanted to buy there.  They wanted to list it at $250,000.  I told them it wouldn't sell at that price at that time.

These Farmington Hills home sellers would have been smarter to sit back and wait to sell their home.  But they didn't want to wait.  They had to move now and buy that Florida home before it was gone.  They talked to 3 realtors.  Two of us told them the bad news about what they could get.  They went with a different realtor that said they could get $250,000.

Well last week one of my Michigan relocation buyers wanted to see the home.  Well the Farmington Hills home showed poorly.  It was empty, void of all the furniture.  The grass was full of leaves and the home looked abandoned. 

This home has sat for five months unsold.  They have lowered the price to $235,000 and it still is over priced.  They may get lucky and somebody offer them $20,000 less.   They may get lucky and get a cash buyer.  But if they would have priced their Farmington Hills home right in the beginning it would have been sold.

They would be paying another 6 months of taxes, lawn cutting, electric, and gas bills.  They  wouldn't be worrying about the house at all.  They would be relaxing in their new Florida home with no worries of a home back in Michigan.  But they would not accept the reality of the recent sold prices.  They set the home price to a figure they had in their head.  They unfortunately wanted to believe the highest price realtor.

So here it is going into the sixth month and the home sits unsold!
