Asking for less than you want in San Antonio

[Joe S.]

So I have a big nice house that I’m almost ready to put on the market in the next couple of days. What I wanted to ask and want my realtor suggested I ask is about 14 K difference. I thought asking a little bit more and except a little bit less normal practice. My realtor said right now sellers are asking for a little bit less than what they really want and the buyers are bidding it up. Does anyone have any insight into this kind of pricing method?
