Flippin housing market what's going on at all.
Hi everyone.
We really need some good luck Karma for Sunday, we've got a couple coming round for a second viewing, they came last Saturday and the agent rang yesterday to say they want to come back at the weekend he also said they looked at quite a lot of properties but said they liked our's the best, i cant help but get exited. We put the house for sale 1st March, and the agent said at the time it should sell very quickly, good area, and we've got a really large plot, but over 4mths later and we are still hear, (with the visa in our hands waiting.) Can't really bear the thought of the kids going back to school in September, my son said all the kids at school have been saying "are you not going to Australia now". So last week we decided to drop the price not something we wanted to do but we thought it might help or save us a trip out to validate the visa at the end of the year, since we dropped it £18,000 we've had more viewing's. The estate agent said nothing's really selling at the moment only the bargain's, last month a couple made an offer £45,000 grand under the asking price we told them were to stick the offer. Any one else in the same boat?? Paula. Warrington, Cheshire. Brisbane soooooon please. |
Re: Flippin housing market what's going on at all.
Unfortunately it looks like house prices are dropping in the UK, Maybe it will crash, lets hope not,
I do hope you can sell and move over to Aus, you should check the internet to find details about the state of the market in your area, you may have to accept a lower than expected bid. |

I hope it all turns out well for you. Sarah |

Our flat sold with in a week, and 4 people bid atleast 20,000 over the asking price. And 2 other places in the same area had the same ordeal. Then I read stories like yours about having houses on the market for so long and then getting £1,000's taken off just to sell. It seems to be a lot different in Scotland. Anyway, I wish you good luck with the house sale, let us know soon how it turns out. If you have any more troubles with the house sale let me know and I'll pull your house up to Scotland. It'll sell with in a week.... :D Jim P.S. Karma sent. |
Re: Flippin housing market what's going on at all.
Good luck with your house selling. It's a hard time. Especially when you're ready to go.
I just hope this trend doesn't migrate into Scotland. All our money is tied up in our house. |

One place reports a 9% drop this year but some areas are still rising... http://www.s1homes.com/buying/news/a...15-30-45.shtml On the up side, it does seem that Australia has been experiencing a similar thing recently - prices dropping, stagnant market - so even though people may have to drop their price to sell in the UK, hopefully if you buy in Oz you will end up paying less than you might have a couple of years ago. |
Re: Flippin housing market what's going on at all.
Second viewing you say.. your lucky, weve been waiting nearly two months and had only one very uninterested viewing.
I am trying to sell privately, but I fear I may need to call in the Estate Agents soon, medicals are booked for next week and we need to sell house for our capital investment request!!! Yikes.. cutting it fine. |
Re: Flippin housing market what's going on at all.
Hope it all goes well on Sunday cantwait, I'll have my fingers crossed for you all.
Good luck Karma on it's way :) |

Got a viewer this weekend though.......first one in weeks!!!! Roni |

Had our house on the market for 3 weeks and had 4 viewings, 2 seemed interested but one of them was a complete waster he never said a word until he got into the main bedroom and then wanted to know why there was'nt a window in 1 of the walls ( I don't know I did'nt build the house). We have not heard from the estate agents for over a week now, I think we will give it another month and then maybe think about dropping the price. Good luck to everybody in the same boat.
