Clearly Overpriced:
Sellers want to get the most possible money out of their home. Many Las Vegas agents win listings because they promise the most amount of money. They overprice the home to get a contract and then when the house doesn't sell they talk the owner down to market value and it sells. If a house is 10+% over market value it is going to sit.
The market isn't fooled. They want to pay the least amount for a house so they are doing their research too. Your house will begin to age and become stale. The listing will likely expire and you will have to start over from scratch.

Somewhat Overpriced:
When the decision is made emotionally you believe that the home is worth more than all the other Las Vegas homes. A buyer will only pay what it is worth regardless of your emotional ties to it.
