06 / The one thingworth fixing

You value high to win the instruction.

On three of your last five valuations you named a figure more than three per cent above what the home eventually signed for. It wins the instruction and then costs you the year: those three averaged 54 days on the market against 35 for the ones you called honestly, and two of them had to take a cut to sell at all.
