Anyone from Northwest area selling?

cushde

Im in Blackburn, Visted 5 EA over the past 3 weeks. Some houses are selling within 24 hours of being put onto the market. We saw 4 houses we liked. Poped down to the EA to be told that they had already been sold! There are some that are crazyly overpriced that have been on the market for months, But all in all i think the Market here is doing very well.

Thanks

If you watch the market for a while, you get to know which EA's over value and which don't. I'm not really using Blackburn EA's, more the Ribble Valley ones. However, there is one who massively over values houses and one who doesn't. The house I offered on the other day was being marketed by the realistically priced EA so I knew I wasn't offering over the odds. I have seen some lovely (and not so lovely ) houses being marketed by the expensive agent and actually told one vendor that whilst I loved her house, because of who it was being marketed by, it was overpriced. (I then spoke to the agent who is selling mine and asked him what he'd valued the house at. £45k less!!

BTW - I had 4 valuations on my house - there was a. £75k difference in what they thought it was worth and a £55k difference in what they would inititially market it at.(And I'm not in the 4% stamp duty threshold either, by a long way) I'm with one of the mid range agents .... and I have someone who "only wants my house" .... if they can raise enough money :j :j
