That sounds good.  It’s important to understand that the real estate market can be highly volatile, and it is very easy to lose a lot of money by overestimating how much a house is worth.  Some rules of thumb are:

-   Listing prices should be no more than a third of the price of the last similar house that was sold.
-   Use the price per square foot to get an idea of how much a house is really worth.
-   The price per square foot is about 1/3 of the price per bed.
-   The price per square foot is about 1/3 of the price per bathroom.
