To those selling in these difficult times

vivatifosi

Ages and ages ago I posted about my SiL and her fiance who were both selling their properties to buy a house together. Well, 7 months on, both houses are sold, contracts exchanged and they move this month. They both got a bit less than they would have liked for their houses, but equally saved a lot on the house that they are buying so more or less at break-even.

Brief update : Had 4 viewings since Friday.
1st one - Couldn't guage any feeling from the viewing - got no idea and no feedback so far
2nd one - Lovely couple, loved the house. 20 mins after they left they made an offer - £35k under asking priced. With 2 other viewings booked, I declined to comment.
3rd one - Again, loved the house and spend some time on their own walking around the house.
4th one - Bought 4 other people with them!! again, positive comments.

Hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday) the EA will provide official feedback.

What's the asking price? How is it priced vs the competition?

Finally had feedback from my viewers a week ago. They liked the house, but it wasnt for them. They didnt have any negative points so thats something I suppose. Hubby and no1 Son were home for the weekend which was nice, but equally painful for us all when they had to go again. Oh well.

No more viewings yet. I seem to average one every 2 months so hopefully in the next few weeks I might get another!!!

I feel your pain :grouphug:
Tried to ring the EA just now to find out some feedback but they appear to be closed:mad:

Thanks! I hope you get some good luck soon! How long have you been on the market now? I keep telling myself its only been on since end of October,but its hard trying to explain things to the kids when everything to them is so black and white!

Only a month longer than you, but it was off the market for a month for my lovely time waster :mad:

Never in a million years did I think it would take this long!
