real estate is a strong comparison for what market comps for cards function as. like jeff said, they're guardrails/guide rails. you as an individual can subjectively make the decision to 'list' your card at much higher than the going rate for similar condition sets/houses, or you can make the decision to 'buy' your card at a much lower than the going rate for similar condition sets/houses.
either way, that subjective decision may leave your card on the market for weeks, months, or years; may leave you on the market for a card for weeks, months, or years. that's why successful brokers and agencies use comps to help buyers and sellers advocate and achieve success on the market for properties at all scales. nothing exists in a vacuum; markets of all sizes elucidate this same fundamental truth.
