Not sure about the college question, but as far as the selling idea goes- If you really want to sell you’re going to have to price it aggressively (low) and then hope to create a bidding war. Pricing it in the middle or even slightly lower won’t do it now. I think most of the realtors on this site would agree with me. You’ll be competing with short sales and repos so go in with a bang and you’ll sell easily.
