When there’s one buyer for every four homes, the real estatemarket feels very different than when twenty buyers were competing for one. In this episode, Nickie explores what a home is really worth—from the appraiser’s number to the seller’s emotional equity to the buyer’s perception of value.You’ll learn how shifting market conditions and personal psychology shape pricing, negotiations, and expectations. Whether you’re selling, buying, or just curious, this episode will help you rethink how value is defined—and whyit’s rarely just about the numbers.

Top phrases used today:

Appraised Value: what the bank says your homeis worth and what they are willing to lend on it.

Buyer’s Perception of Value: what they are willingto pay to secure that house. That can be both good (listing price +) or bad(lower than listing price)
