Well, it didn't come across as a gloating thread to me - quite the opposite, OP seemed to want to share her good news and to tell us that, with a bit of flexibility and imagination on both sides, houses can still sell, even in the current climate.

Nothing wrong with that.

Thank you. That is what i was trying to do.

I went round to this house last night but he has took it off the market http://www.homesonview.co.uk/scripts/FullDetails.aspx?CID=OYSTLEYL&AID=OYSTLEYL&PID=OLP00392

Said he did not need to sell it anymore, which is a good thing for him. So someone else upbeat. Lovely house

You desire rising prices to make money. Other people desire falling prices to afford a home of their own. I hope you will agree that, for them, falling house prices qualifies as very upbeat news.

I wrote on this very website many moons ago that house prices are stupid and so are the people forcing them up.

People tend to ignore the relativity of it, ie if your house goes up 60% so does the nicer one that you wanted to move up to in 8 years time. The sufferers are the poor first time buyers.

I would not care if my house sold for a quid if I could buy a lesser house for 50p, in fact i would prefer it.

You have no idea why I came on this website or are you claiming to be a mindreader? You actually quoted my apology for if it appeared I was gloating.

If I wanted to gloat I would have posted in the Arms, which I haven't, where people know me and not in the anonymity of a board where I am unknown.

I posted as an alternative to all the "I cannot sell my house" threads just to let desperate people know that buyers are out there.

Whether you think it will go through or not does not interest me, but you should be concerned by the size of the chip on your shoulder. What's wrong, cannot sell yours?

Your reason for posting the OP was to gloat. Phrases like "just a thread saying we are lucky lucky b'stards" and "Sorry if this sounds like a gloating thread" qualifies as 24 carat gloating. I am sorry but no other interpretation can be put on such statements. Attempting to absolve yourself by saying you are not gloating is an insult to your readers (or some of them anyway).

I have no desire for prices to rise. I would like to see confidence in all things to do with our economy at the moment and continually looking for the blackest picture isnt the way to encourage that to happen.

Then simply do not read.

Sorry everyone, I am slightly depressed because we sold the house a couple of days after putting it on the market, will this run of bad luck never end? I feel like i have broken a thousand mirrors and kicked a black cat under a ladder.

Woe is me.

Commiseration.
You have my sympathy at this time of sadness.
May your sold to be house rest in peace.
