There isn't an exact science in valuating the value of a house. Many factors influence pricing, including location, condition, recent market activity, and even the strategy of the listing agent. You can have 3 different appraisers evaluate a home and that may result in 3 different values, but they will all be within a range. Interview several realtors to find out what that range is, then hire one that you trust. At the end of the day, it’s your property—you decide the listing price, but a strong agent should clearly explain the pros and cons of your pricing choice and help you understand its impact. In my opinion many sellers focus on how much a home will sell for, but what they should focus is what is the agent going to do to market and sell the house for a great price.
