night you off to bed again? i see you have been upsetting other people some things never change.:T

For you to have seen that you must have been watching my posts - who is following who?

If you are referring to taxdodger - he talks almost as much rubbish as you.

I know you enjoy these threads where its you against the world - hardly anyone agrees with you - have you ever thought there might be a reason for that?

By the way I worked you out really well without knowing your circumstances - you are a psychiatrists text book case...

What? The cheap housing websites that can't sell your overpriced house and you are just using to avoid having to pay for another HIP?

They're welcome to you!

How do I do that? Is there a PM function? I could post a link but that seems a bit, well, public!

Edited to add I'm not sure why you want to see it?!

you say to me there is no point me selling for a year or 2 so i dont need to post, tell me exaclty why do you post anything,?your not selling, buying, renting or anything else, you just like to stick your nose in, and whatever you say his right, but we know sometimes your not dont we socrates??

All you do is have a opinion, but you never say what position you are currently in, is that because you tell lies???

I can understand estate agents being upset with what ive posted and ftb's, has what i have done effects both of them, but you it does not effect at all.

just tell us a bit about yourself and your situation, the one thing i am not scared of is saying it how it is, and how i find it, you keep on sitting on that fence.

i wont be selling ours now for at least for 12 months, prices are still coming down, maybe when they hit bottom we may sell.

I can tell you 100% we won't be selling in 6 months.

If you aren't actually wanting to sell, why would you have gone through 5 estate agents in the past 16 months and why would you wait until the bottom to sell?

Would it not make more sense, if like you say, you have a mortgage of 50k to just stick it on for 115 or whatever and make a 65k profit now than it would to wait until the bottom and end up up selling for 75k and only make a 25k profit?

We bought it as FTBs though, and don't expect to get much more than we paid for it in Sept 05. Not sure what level prices have fallen to now, is it 2005, 2006? I'm quite prepared to admit that if it doesn't sell then it's overpriced, but will wait a while longer before dropping the price I think.

Unless you know/ live in the area it's hard to say what is overpriced. We live in a nice part of our town where it's not often that little houses with parking come up, so I am naively optimistic thus far!

no it doesnt make sense when we was first selling we had it on for 169000 and we was going to buy a house for about 200,000 and borrow 40,000 if we got 160,000 for ours

Now if ours drops to 80,000 and thats the bottom that would be a 50% drop, meaning if all houses drop 50% the 200,000 pound house would be now worth 100,000, meaning we would only have to borrow 20,000 pound.

bottom line sellers by me are very stubborn, i prefer to wait, even if we would have had a offer, i doubt very much we would have been able to move, has the houses that were 200,000 when we first started marketing ours are still around the same price.

Did you think about renting after selling to wait for the stubborn sellers.
