What it was up against

Five agents had already tried, over roughly four years. The neighbours had watched the sign go up and come down enough times to write in about it.

A handwritten letter about 1690 Edgewood Drive, posted to Maggie six days after the house was listed, signed only "Edgewood Neighbor"

What arrived in the post

A neighbor wrote in about the sign.

Hi Maggie —

Your sign says "New listing".

Want to let you know 1690 Edgewood has been on the market now for 4–6 years with at least 5 different agents.

This is hardly what we call a "New listing". Plus, you have the highest list price of any of them.

Hope you realize this is Not a "New listing". You might want to change your sign to reflect that.

We have watched signs go up & signs go down for many times.

The house went into contract eight days later, and closed at $5,110,000 — $112,000 above the asking price the letter called the highest any of them had tried.

What this one did is a data point, not a valuation. If you want the number for your own house, and what would move it, that is a conversation rather than an algorithm.
