Where and when did you sell?

We're selling in West Yorkshire and until a couple of months ago were getting 1 viewing a month. Nowadays it's more like 1-2 per week. We've been on the market for almost a year now :sad:

Bought a house last year, 1988 two bed semi. It was in good nick, double glazing fitted in 2001, conservatory etc. Minor improvements made by us, mainly decorative, but nothing major.

Based on previous sold prices, we bought at -15% from peak and I believe we were probably ahead of the curve at the time, by around -5%.

We have now sold the same house (completed last week), less than a year on for slightly more than we paid. It now works out at -12.5% from peak. Believe this if you will, but the house was on the market less than a day before we had a viewing. A 2nd viewing by the same person was conducted the next day, an offer was made that afternoon, the offer was 1.5% below asking price. Not being greedy and well aware of the market conditions, we got the offer increased by £500 and accepted that day. Including us, it was three buyer chain.

Sold due to job relocation, buying a nice big house up north for a fiver (OK not a fiver, but significantly less than the same size in the south, 90k less in fact).

So, this fits in well with what we're hearing regarding the direction of house prices this year. But it has to be priced accordingly and there is a danger of any recovery stalling when people, as usual with houses, become too greedy.

Personally, I am amazed there is any up tick, with the scale of unemployment.

Ours was put on the market last Wednesday and we had three viewings on Saturday. It was with the agent on a "to let or for sale" basis with the let being advertisied a month ago with no offers. The agent said the sales market is busy and rental is dead.

We got an offer to rent via Gumtree and they want to move in end of month so not sure what to do. Accept the rental or leave it on the market with the hope of finding a buyer soon. It's a basement flat so it is probably harder to sell than the average property.

Live in Perth and I have just had my first viewing which went very well and hope to hear next week if they are going to make an offer. Have been on the market with present EA 1 month but previously on the market for 5 months with another EA.

We're buying, and had an appointment Saturday afternoon to view a house that came on the market last Thursday. Got a call in the morning from the EA cancelling our viewing because the house had been sold. :eek:

well, our flat hasn't even officially gone on the market yet (HIP only came through yesterday and no EA details as yet)

but we have already had 2 viewings and one asking price offer! :j

of course we are now wondering whether we have underpriced it
