    OP is the price reasonable for your area? If your not brave enough to post a link, not much more we can advise than drop the price to reasonable levels

    ...sellers asking for 80-90% more than what they paid for it 10 years ago, just seems unsustainable to me for a house to almost double in price every 10 years.
    Yet historically, that's usually what happens.

    In some areas.

    We’re in Cumbria and a lot of properties are selling for around the same price they were 10-15 years ago. 

    As always though, what the current owner paid is irrelevant. What other things are selling for locally is key, and what else prospective buyers can get for the same money is what matters. 
    You're right, I should've added obviously not all areas :)

  • The price has got to be right. The photos are also what will draw people in. If these are right, you’ll get viewings.

    Without an RM link, it's just generic speculation.

    Remember, the agent's ad is what gets people through the door.
