It is not really necessary to be the lowest priced home on the block, especially after many important improvements have been made. Yet, it is vital that the listing price is not out of line with other similar homes in the market. You should try putting yourself in the buyer's shoes and then see what price is fair. You can also have friends, neighbors and real estate experts tour the home and weigh in as well.
