overappraising
Rating too highly
Overappraising is estimating value too highly—whether of property, abilities, or worth.
An appraiser might overappraise a house to help a seller, or someone might overappraise their own talents: He's been overappraising his contribution to the project.
The word implies judgment that exceeds what the facts support.
