He still put a low offer in, but hadn't got his house on the market at that point! He is now on the market, but we haven't heard anymore. The third viewers came in and didn't bother going upstairs because they said it was too small for their three boys (it is a 3-bedroomed house). Don't these people read the literature?
Anyway, we are now going with a different agent. Hopefully they will get our details out to a larger audience.
Good luck to anyone else trying to sell.

Completely frustrated and pi**ed off. Dropped the price 3 times now was originally ?160,000 now ?148,500 and probably likely to continue to drop. Can't afford to keep dropping the price as we're not going to be able to afford to go if we drop it much more.
May have to consider selling a kidney soon.

My husband's job is a bit like that he's not handed in his notice yet, but they no he will be leaving them soon so he gets left out of meeting etc.
Got a viewer coming back tonight that came on Saturday so fingers crossed he puts in an offer (a decent one). you can't help but get exited when someone comes back for a second viewing, estate agent said he wants something he can move into in about 8wks time so thats perfect for us they are both Doctors he and his wife and they are in hospital accommodation so they want to move quickly.
We will be looking around the Wellington point, manly, Mango hill, and Mooloolaba and Budrim area's when we arrive so not to far away from yourself so dont forget the sausage on the BBQ you promised.

Oh dear, it appears the house price crasher's are trolling again.
gertrude, Seriously, eatstatic and any others all you are doing when making comments such as drop by £x or X% is making yourselves and the website you represent look like fools because you know nothing about the property or areas being discussed here and you just go around chanting the mantra your leaders have told you to.
Reading your website remind me about all the bad things in the UK. I'm glad to be leaving a place where people are wishing redundancies on people and saying that anyone who doesn't agree with their point of view is an idiot.

About time people realised high house prices are paid for by the mortgage slavery of the young.

Just looked over on your site and glad to see I kept your little minds occupied for a while .
Registered to give my side of the story and then decided not to bother. Thought wtf don't give a damn what any of you think anyway. You don't know me or anything about my situation. I do work and am not sat on my lazy ass wanting somebody else to pay for my future. I will continue to work (as I always have) when I get over there.
And as for whichever sicko posted this about me
"fvck her and all like her.
hopefully another one for the pyre
Burn baby burn. "
You want to get a life.

His degree done him wonders if the best he can manage is to sit and slag people off who he doesn't even know, over the internet.
