Can I sell my house above market value?”

“No. It depends on several factors.”

We also covered seller myths too, such as “Can I sell my house above market value?”

While you may certainly see homes being sold above their value, it’s not likely that you will get above and beyond your home’s actual market value.

In addition, today’s buyers are more educated and intune with the market and they may have researched home prices in your neighborhood for comparison.
