    just a quickie, house price crash, doom and gloom, interest rises. my house just sold after being on the market for two weeks at a very inflated asking price! whats going on?

    Your asking price was too low! Simple really!

    Technically you're only supposed to gloat on the day you complete, not the day you accept an offer though...

    Sort of the the point i'm trying to make too, but it doesn't seem to be sinking in, somehow.

    Someone must not be reading posts properly somewhere

    I just dont get this.

    I posted an obvservation based on what I have seen, and I get shot down.
    :confused:

    OP puts his house on the market it sells, its underpriced
    A. N. Other poster puts thiers on the market, it doesnt sell, its overpriced.

    Can we just stop being so bloody mardy on here about this, it really does hack me off. Everything anyone does in respect of selling thier house seems to get shot down by a mardy contingent who seem to love other peoples misery ( or not even miseryt, they have a good thing happen, eg OP sold thier house with limited probs) and they get slagged for that as well!

    You cant win can you!!!!
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
