Most of the properties that I showcase are unique, rural or lake properties. For properties such as these, CMA software is useless at best and highly misleading at its' worst. I usually wind up pulling everything in the area anywhere near the right price range, especially solds, stacking then in price order and then determining where in the pile the potential listing should be. That, theoretically, gives me a price range. Then it is a case of "Mr. and Mrs. Seller. This appears to be the price range. Would you agree?....... Fine. If we price your home at the top you may be here for quite a while.... If we price it at the bottom, it would seem that we could expect some robust activity and perhaps an offer relatively soon. Is that what you want?

Sorry, but there is no faisr dust or magic available. Experience guides. The market dictates.

Ron couldn't have said it better. No fairy dust will help you, Try a majic genie - I've heard you only get three listings though.
