Unlike other consumer goods homes are not alike - even if they are on the same street from the same builder and same floor plan. I don't suggest ever listing a home for more than it can sell for with the intent to bargain down to actual. The home will linger on the MLS which is not a good thing. Lots of stress on the seller (keeping house show ready 24/7) and buyers will see the time on market as there is something wrong with the home or it is just undesirable to the market at large.
Do the homework and settle on a listing price that is realistic - perhaps a bit under the current values. That will generate a bunch of traffic and possibly a quick deal with multiple offers.
