Just wondered if anyone would be intersted in starting up a sort of summary msg where we can update thread followers of where each of us are in the process? I know I'm getting terribly confused trying to remember everyone's story !

I can start it off if you like. If anyone else wants to join in, feel free to quote & add to it. If not, let it die a natural death & I'll say no more !

Hello

I'm selling in difficult times so thought I'd join in the fun! My house went on the market 2 weeks ago and so far nothing. I've priced my 2 bed terrace at the lower end of the 3 valuations I had done (£85k-£90k). I know it's early days but wondered how quickly most people had their first viewings?

Blodwen: On market for 13 weeks, 3 viewers (and buyer who then pulled out) in first month. No viewers or contact from agent in last 2 months. Planning to change agent at 16 weeks.

NEH: On market 29 weeks, 3 viewers,1 ridiculous offer soundout, useless Solicitor who can't find the bed or the flat itself. Planning to rent it out from November.

Emilia15: On market for five weeks (feels like a lot longer), three booked viewers (although only one turned up!), price reduced by £8500 last week, EA who was dealing with us has mysteriously 'left the company', trying to deal with the chronic lack of buyers by adopting a zen-like stance and also by reading this thread

rosered100 - been on the market since March. Had an offer from the first viewer at 91% of asking which we accepted. They dropped out 2 days before exchange. Dropped the asking price to the level of our first offer. Total of 16 viewers, 5 of them viewed twice. Then 2 offers came on the same day a fortnight ago at 10% below our new asking price. We have reluctantly agreed to one of them as long as they get on with it. Havent heard a word from them since.

NyimaR - been on the market since June. 9 viewings (including 1 second viewing) all made very good noises, then nothing. Last viewing was a week ago. Dropped price once when viewings dropped off. Will do it again if I stop getting viewers. Got an open house in a couple of weeks. Living in London (where new job is) with mum during the week and Coventry (with the OH) at weekends

Chyna-S: On market for 2 days, no viewers yet

And us as well:

tyllwyd: went on market on 5 May (Election day - great timing!!) Dropped price once, four viewings so far but none proceedable. Enthusiasm for the whole idea of moving gradually ebbing away.
