    Reidy, go to
    http://www.nethouseprices.com

    You can check what price houses in your road have actually fetched. If you want to sell in this market, you need to be pretty competitively priced. Good luck.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Reidy,

    Do you have debts? or is it just the soaring costs of everything that makes it difficult to manage?

    If you have debts, I suggest you head over the dfw board and ask for advice on it.

    There may well be a way that does not involve selling your house at this time, possibly restructuring your debts so you can pay them off while remaining at home,.

    Please seek advice from there if you havent ( debt free wannabee forum on here)

    Good luck x
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Maria, you have a website link as your sig, which is against the rules of this forum. I would remove it before the mods do.

    Reidy, you have 2 options. There is no magic trick that will get you out of this (unless Gordon and his magic councils are coming your way...).

    1. Stay put, changing to an interest-only mortgage if nec. Get another job, or cut back desperately on your current spending. This site is great for tips.

    2. Reduce price further - v unlikely to sell above 250K stamp duty threshold, TBH. Then live comfortably off the equity.

    Fail to see what the problem is; either way, you win. Either you have less quality of life but hang on to your home, or you sell up and get free rent courtesy of recent house price rises. Doesn't sound so tough to me.

    How much did you buy your house for?
