REAL ESTATE UPDATE Ray A. Fox, Licensed Realtor HOME BUYING PSYCHOLOGY QUESTION: Just how important a factor is over- pricing when selling a home? ANSWER: Buyers buy homes by comparison. The average buyer is no slouch. He'll shop a particular neighborhood and home- type. He'll rarely buy the first one he visits. It's too big an investment to be non- chalant. He will then com- pare prices against com- parative value. He'll quickly throw out any obviously overpriced homes. If the buyer really likes an overpriced home, he may make a counter offer at a lower price - closer to its true value. Mit history shows that he'll probably make his offer for one already realistically valued . . . Overpricing will hurt a sale. and Bernie Block of Pem- broke Pines, Fla.
