Machines do a lot of stuff for us. So much so that we sometimes do not think what they do for us. This however, takes away our opportunity to personally touch and feel a lot of stuff: Think of washing and packing of various food products. These might include various seeds, fruits and vegetables. Now when you do that with hands, different seeds will give you different feeling. I guess, this in the past might have given people several ideas about various material types. For example, coriander seeds feel like thermocol when soaked in water. There never seems to be enough water even if the bucket you are washing them may overflow. Wheat on the other hand would feel heavy and you really need to dig into it. Most people would die without experiencing such things and would never come up with ideas that they could have come up with. If Newton, really did discover gravity by seeing an apple fall. Today's generation never gets to get close to nature. No wonder, science gets limited to l...

In my experience, the evaluation of the property is your job. If you cannot locally inquire, you are at the mercy of the brokers word. But if you are able to be on location pretend that you are a buyer, meet some brokers and check the rates of property they have on offer. You get various details among them the price being the major information you need. You get to see the good things about your property in comparison to others. Build on the  pluses and learn to talk about it. Check the local newspapers and find more about the prices. This would help you fix a price for your property based on square feet rate. Now, take a break if possible and advertise your property online - return at a later date. A months gap should be fine. Check the local newspapers again, affirm the price you want for your property. ...
