Hi all you busy January bees!![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Spoke to a estate agent who said as the house market dip seems to be a global thing that it might happen in Oz as well ...and that fact (although negative in the bigger economic climate) will assist potential buyers in Oz who had to accept a below-market value offer here in the UK...![Unsure](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/unsure.gif)
Read on another forum for South African Expats to Oz that a member was told that DIAC staff has a deadline to clear up the backlog by 22 june! Hope it is true!
Anybody else heard something like that?

Baby she is gorgeous here's a couple of photos of the boxers we've had 1st on is Bailey and the 2nd one is Ben - DD call's all boxers Bengie dogs! We have told her once we are settled we will discuss getting a dog - i think a goldfish might be more of a good idea!
Spoke to the EA this morning and she reckons that more people are looking at houses and thinks its the media blowing it all out of proportion

I don't know about that...... I think that may have been the case right at the start but now enough people have reacted to it to make it a reality.
EAs going out of business & conveyancers being made redundant speaks for itself IMHO.

Well, I'm not sure what it will do for us but I talked long & hard with OH last night & we've decided to reduce our asking price - we were looking at our competition online & decided to price it so it becomes a bargain compared to others in the same price range. (though I thought it already was tbh)
So.......watch this space![Sunglasses](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sunglasses.gif)
Btw, I've watched enough "nothing to declare" to know feather duvets & pillows are a definite no go!!

Yes, we also have a "chat" - and agreed to stick with our price (with small reduction) and then when we get the visa - if we haven't sold - then reduce... when the house is the only thing holding us back!
How is everyone today - its been lovely and sunny - pity I was stuck at work all day!

No news really from me - still have our 2 house offers and have 2 more viewings on Saturday - had another yesterday. How lucky are we? 13 months on the market and suddenly we have interest - might be something to do with the fact we are now such a low price it's silly.
