in Debate House Prices & the Economy
It's well known my dislike of high house prices. Anyone it's become quite clear that prices are not coming down so I have put an offer in. I am currently waiting to hear back. Owners want 160k I have offered 110k

    Did the EA keep a straight tone of voice or did she wait till she put the phone down to laugh at you?
    People don't know what they want until you show them.

    Best of luck Flo. You are using some real hardball hpc.co.uk bargaining there.

    Floridaman, are you being serious?

    I am in a similar position to you I believe. I am fed up of house prices, but I am taking the plunge as I don't think they will fall substantially for a long time (if ever).

    Post a picture of your potential house.

    My plan is to go to 150k on a 160k house. I am hoping the first 2 offers make them think. I really don't want to go to 160k as the 10k I could save will cover moving costs, legal bills etc

    You best hope that someone doesn't offer the market value not the flo rida man value.
