(kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures, windows). Ultimately, that's what buyers are doing... they don't care about price per sq/ft or how much you have into it, or what quality of plywood was used (I have heard sellers try to use that as a reason to list for a higher price, no kidding)

In summary: the core issue is how the BUYERS see the value of your house vs the competition.

^^^Really solid advice clearly based on factual information - no different than when pricing a vehicle for sale. I don't care how much money and time you've invested, it's only worth what the market dictates^^^^^^
