My thoughts are that she has been watching too much HGTV, and thinks that because her house is as nice as/nicer than those houses, she knows what the market value is. Unfortunately, she hasn't taken into account her market area, recent comps in her neighborhood, etc.

Heck, my house, dropped into a decent neighborhood in California, would be worth roughly 10x what it is in my small, suburban, Ohio town.

My house, in a decent SoCal neighborhood is worth about $850k. I played with the specs in various zip codes around the country and the lowest value I could come up with was about $200k.
