OK, I like to watch this show, but in the end, when they deliver the value... besides that annoying pausing thing they do which irks me no end, I just can't believe the prices they come up with.

My favorite is people who bought it within the last 2 years, didn't do much to it, and decided it is too small, not in the right place, whatever, and think it will have appreciated 25-50% or more. And, most of the time, the realtor goes along with it. WTH? Do these owners REALLY think they'll get the listing price that the realtor suggests? I'd really like it if they would do some 'check back' shows where we learn exactly what the house sold for. Or, put that house on Buy Me so we can see what it really goes for!

Lately I've seen them be a little more realistic. Often the realtor says the market is softening and there have actually been some people featured that lost money on their homes. Each market is different and it's nice to see what is happening in other markets, but it does annoy me to no end as well when someone after only a few years in a home is disappointed if they haven't made a few hundred thousand dollars.

I'm just amazed how many people seem to have no clue what their home is worth. Are they being disingenuous for the purposes of the show or are they really that unaware?
