This
triangle graph illustrates that more buyers purchase their
properties at market value than above market value. The
percentage decreases when the property is priced above the
market. Therefore, if you price your property at market
value, you are exposing it to a much greater percentage
of prospective buyers and you are increasing your opportunity
for a sale.
