We'll see what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for recently. Your location will set the limit on what your home can be sold for. Too high an original asking price can work against you. Your first possible buyer may not see your home if it's priced out of their range. Don't help the neighbor sell their home by over-pricing yours.
Curb appeal is very important.
Many times buyers have told me to just keep on going, when I've pulled up in front of a cluttered yard. We'll never know what they missed. Once inside, fresh neutral paint, and sparkling clean are what gets homes sold. Many buyers have little imagination, and can't picture what their furniture would look like if your color scheme clashes with what they own. The buyers are not coming to visit you, and many are uncomfortable if the seller is at home.
