MSE News: House prices moving upwards, Nationwide says

We've just sold our 2 bed terrace house within 24 hours of putting it on the market. Seller down the road is selling at £15k more and has been trying to sell at that for 18 months and not budged on the price.
The houses are identical in every way except the price, board went up on Friday, viewing dinner time on Saturday, sold Saturday evening. Just goes to show houses will sell when priced correctly.
My Uncle who runs our family building firm says the help to buy and first buy schemes are driving increased demand from FTB and with builders using up land stocks they already had on their books he sees an increase of 5% on the cards as builders have to pass on some of the costs.0 -

Then you sold it too cheaply. :cool:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I bought my house within hours of it going on the market too...
It actually went on PropertyPal, the Northern Ireland equivalent of Rightmove, and I arranged a viewing when the listing was 2 hours old. The listing was then removed so I thought it came off the market. On contacting the estate agent, they told me that the developer, who was selling the house (he rented it for 6 years), hadn't paid the fee for putting it on the website.
The property wasn't marketed again after my offer and I honestly think he could have got a higher price had he paid the estate agent his 'website listing fee'. This suspicion was verified to a certain extent when the bank valued it at more than what I was paying.0 -

Haha!
Possibly, could have been greedy but didn't want to be, wanted a sale and move up the ladder.0
