When my parents divorced they argued so much over who gets what that the legal fees meant there was no assets left to split.
More immediately, one option I found worked in my case to resolve this was to factor in all the sales fees etc. Based on the difference between selling or not. Because of things like fees, taxes and mortgage redemption penalties had my XW held out for the higher valuation she was claiming was fair and assuming that we somehow met that (which never happens) then once all the fees were deducted her 50% share would have been less than the offer I was making based on a lower but much more realistic valuation.
Basically she was thinking in gross value and I got her to start thinking in net value.
Not sure if it helps you but it resolved an impasse in my situation
