The statement "property value is more than details" can be interpreted as highlighting that a property's overall market value is a comprehensive estimation influenced by numerous complex and sometimes abstract factors, transcending a simple list of specifications. While details are important inputs, the final value is determined by the dynamic interplay of market forces, expert analysis, and a broader context. 

Property valuation is a fascinating and often intricate process that goes far beyond merely counting the number of bedrooms or measuring square footage. It is an art and a science, relying on a holistic view of the asset within its surrounding environment and current economic climate. The "overview" perspective recognizes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, integrating both quantitative details and qualitative, external factors to arrive at a fair market value.
