Waiting for a buyer... Anyone want to join me?

ooh well done Daniel.

that's great news Daniel. I too would not have accepted. Having just gone on the market I would only accept asking or very close to. If they like it that much I'm sure they will come back.

Glad you are now listed smallholdingsister!

We had our first viewing on the 22nd Dec and they came back for a 2nd today. They made an offer this afternoon £15k below asking which we rejected as we said we wanted asking as we were priced to sell. They upped to £5k below asking and said it was their final offer. My husband was tempted to accept as he is v keen to get moving but as we haven't seen anything we love yet and do genuinely think our asking price is extremely fair, we declined.

That was at 4:30pm, I wonder if they will rear their heads over the next few days with an increase?

In hindsight we should perhaps have counted to 2.5 below but I am hoping for the market to become more buoyant as Christmas is left behind.

But it didn`t sell? Surely your logic has gone wrong somewhere?

I sold my house exactly 8 years ago. Not the best time, but I had reasons.

Based on a conservative estimate of what that house is worth today, I could have earned £17k a year sitting on my bum, not selling it to anyone, till now.

Might have been a 'logical' choice.

Just saying.

It's only just come on the market and is below market value - that's why I said it's priced to sell.

Thanks for the clarity Davesnave.
Birdman would you mind not quoting them (it has their hands down their pants oscillating furiously!)

Daniel would you mind not engaging with price crash chaps? Please see above.

He's kind of deliberately missing the point, just ignore him!

Have you got a link to the house?

Is that a direct order from the Price Police, or does he get a choice whether to engage or not............:rotfl:

People are just fed up of posts being dragged off topic.
