There ya go! I sold a house in 4 hours this spring. When I put up the "for sale" sign, it already said "Sold". I sold 6 in under a week in 2009

That's a good strategy for establishing a baseline, but not much good when it comes to adjusting value for specific features or level of finish... which can be a significant %
Even if you're going FSBO, I would get a couple realtors in for a price check. Get someone who sells lots of homes in your area... for one thing they may aleady have a buyer (or several), and if they sell a lot they aren't likely to overprice it just to try to get the listing. Busy realtors tend to be pretty conservative (and accurate) with pricing.
