* Home Values: The Perspective; part-1

So here’s a question.  Let’s say you bought your home 4 years ago for $200,000.  Then last year when the market peaked, it was valued at $265,000.  Today, your agent says that you must list at $240,000 to compete.  Which of the following statements best expresses how you feel & why:

  1. Yes!  I’m going to make $40,000!  or
  2. OMG! I’m going to lose $25,000!

I’d like to hear your comments if you have any.
