misvaluing

Misvaluing is assigning the wrong worth to something—overestimating or underestimating its importance, quality, or price.

The error can go either direction: We were misvaluing the property by at least twenty percent.

More often the word suggests undervaluation: History has a way of misvaluing artists during their lifetimes.
