Unrealistic asking price?

getmore4less

That the OP put their property on the market in April for £190k and now asking £170k

You think they would understand unrealisticasking prices a bit better by now.

A stagnant market means buyers are increasingly aware of the dangers and are more cautious than you.

Have you asked Crashy Time how it's worked out for him using your approach?

A stagnant property market speaks for itself.

Between Crashy Time and Diocletian II, it seems now every other thread in this forum is going to be reduced to tedious concern trolling about the housing market.

If you two are Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, then when does your Hulk Hogan arrive?

I'll take that as a no as you know the answer won't support your misguided opinions.

What the market says is more important than what any individual says. And the market is currently saying *stagnation*, loud and clear.

You keep banging on about stagnation like it's a bad thing; isn't it a good thing as it allows people like yourself to save up some more and/or increase your earnings so you will one day be able to afford a property?

Stagnation is merely the stage of the property market cycle that comes after the boom has ended.

I last sold in 2017. That house didn't really go up much from 2014-2017. Market was very static when I sold. Moved to a different area and it's still pretty static. Why should I have waited? Wouldn't have gained anything at all.

See my point quoted above. I really dont know why I'm bashing my head on a brick wall cos your blinkers are on - but please explain why I should have waited. So what if it's static? I don't care if it drops. It makes absolutely zip difference to me. I wanted to move, so I moved. Why should I still be sitting in my old house waiting for the bottom to fall out the market? I'd have sold for less, but bought for less. Same outcome.
