Holding costs end up out of your pocket so it should count in how much more you make. Then as you said elsewhere they often will let you know if you are way overpriced versus comps, and a good agent will even show you those comps in person to let you know they are not pulling your leg. I have seen some people selling houses with close to a 30k difference and there was an exact same house, floor plan and all about 5 streets away for 30k less. Also no real difference in quality of location, same schools, etc.
