First, it's your asset and you have the right to price it as you may want. However, you want to understand at what price it has the best chance of selling. Second, if you like the agent with whom you discussed your sale, have a further conversation about how they came up with their price and share with them the data you found. You should be able to have a solid conversation about any differences in opinion as to what data is most reasonable to use as a comparison to your home and why their price opinion is different than yours. Third, don't be afraid to interview a few different agents to get different opinions on both price and strategy. Lastly, take some time to be clear in your mind what your goal for the sale is and what tradeoffs you'd be willing to make in order to accomplish it. For example, highest price even if means spending longer on the market.
