While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I could accept £220k ultimately although this is the absolute minimum at this time. Not sure dropping the price on the listing is worth doing though as I've already had offers of £220k even when it said 'in excess of' £229,950.
If I drop the price to £220k I imagine I'm then going to encourage prices of £210k.0 -

Maybe, but you would just refuse them, and if someone has viewed they might go to 220k if they are in a buying mood and know you won`t budge?0 -

So would you think lowering to 'Offers in excess of £220k' rather than just £220k?0 -
How do people feel about my competition too? The Builders are selling the newest phase at the top of my estate. I do feel as though I'm not really competing like-for-like as there are only 3 bed semis and large 4 bed detached for sale:

So I've just accepted an offer of £224k. Fingers crossed it all goes through.0
