When you press for damages, shoot for the moon. You have nothing to lose, and your opponent may screw up and actually meet your demands. It’s like listing a house.

It’s like listing a house.

Very poor advice.

Every property is unique. The goal when listing and selling is to find the buyer in the current market that wants it more than everyone else. The higher you list a house the fewer the showings and the less chance of finding that buyer. If the house doesn't sell quickly, it can get a market stigma that something must be wrong with it.

A wiser strategy might be to list it right at or slightly below current market value to increase showings and activity. Many times multiple competing offers are received and the house will sell quickly for more than the asking price.
