Re: Just how many of us have house up for sale?
Mines been on the market since February. 2 viewings but no offers 
Have just been round the estate agents to ask if there's been any interest. Apparently have sent loads of details out but nobody ringing up to view.
The problem is my house looks a lot smaller from the front than it actually is.
Have had loads of people pull up on the front looking at the house yet they don't want to come in. I might have to resort to hiding in the bushes out the front and dragging them in when they pull up

No just interested/nosey in how many of us there are.

Been on the market nearly 3.5 months now, and nothing. This is a nightmare.

This estate agent did scare me a bit because of all the rubbish about double glazed windows, apparently you need to have permission to have them replaced from 2002 onwards. Luckily the only windows done were replaced years ago, although he said we would have to apply to the council because of our porch which didn't need planning permission when it was put up, we have to have something in writing to that effect.

Hi Nicky
Put me down as another in the "on the market" category (though if you have caught up with the "gang" in dieters you will know that I am hoping that we will soon be shifting into the "under offer" category!

We are just the same only had one viewing since Feb, and they were on the market but not sold. Also phoned the agent today who said that it had been dead over the weekend but everyone was saying the same. Starting to get very peed off now.

The house has been on the market for 2 months now... the market started to pickup, but we've dropped the price to try speed things up...

Re: Just how many of us have house up for sale?
Hey there
We have had our house on the market since Thursday last week. Two viewers didn't pitch and one on saturday said they liked the house, but could tell that they wouldn't put in an offer. Think it is going to be a long wait. Our skills assessment is only being submitted to the ICAA by our agent in Adelaide tomorrow, so we have time, but I suspect there is a strong chance of us getting our visa before our house sells.
Good luck with the sale of your house.

Re: Just how many of us have house up for sale?
Just a thought - our agent said that the market was anticipated to slow down in the time up to the election and that they expected it to improve quite a lot after then - don;t know why. He also said that if we didn't get a firm offer by the end of July we may as well take it off the market as it is a family home and most families are on holiday during August and the market is notoriously dead :scared: !
Good luck again
