If the figures add up then they will be putting an offer in!!!!!!!
EA said she is 100% certain they want to put an offer in..........they just need to be 100% certain that their finances are in order first, which is in our interest too so we don't get messed around.
So..........a few more days before we get a def decision

Don't think you'll have a problem Beth - renting market is rising at the mo.....

fingers (and everything else) crossed for next week!

Karma sent - although I really don't think your going to need it, they are getting a bloody bargain after all,

take care,

Well beth it sounds like you've got one of them buyers that want everything!!!!
Hope they put an offer in for the asking price, especially if they are wanting your stuff as well. You would probley replace some items anyway when you get out there, and as you said it will save you some money on the shipping
I have just phone the EA to get my buyers telephone number as guess what they will not give it to me, but they did say they will give her my number WTF I thought they were working for me, I only wanted to ask if they wanted to keep any of my stuff before I find new a new home for it.
Well good luck everyone and fingers crossed for you all lets hope for some more sales next week.

beth just try and focus on the good point that you prob have a buyer- even if they are the most demanding creatures in the world

Our viewers last week cancelled, no more booked in. Giving it another week then we'll be having *words* with the EA to find out why no bugger even wants to come look.

Not 100% yet have put resumes out first one to give him a job wins

Hoping Cairns wins me and Beth are going to have curry nights, have my heart set on it but so many more jobs in Perth, its the easy option have made contact with some great people in Perth who have offered to house us in their spare rooms

Afternoon all,

Just sent my OH out swimming with the 8 year ld. They were driving me up the wall. My lappy stopped connecting to the internet this morning and OH has been messing with the PCs and the internet connection for 5 hours. Every time I get on line he says he'll have to disconnect again.:curse:

I have now realised how addicted I am to BE as those 5 hours were hell.

Hi Emma - I think you're right, Beth has PIA buyers - Pains in the Arse.

Hope you manage to get hold of your buyers. Silly EAs. I bet they are worried about you cutting them out of the sale.

There are buyers out there - they are all PIA though. They know they have control at the moment.

Your house is lovely Kaye - it should sell soon - hopefully your connections will come up trumps. I know how you feel, it's gutting isn't it?

Raining here too.

PMSL - no, they'd want that for free too - plus a guarantee that it was best filet steak.....

I'm surprised they haven't asked Beth to pay for their removal costs too....

The other thing is - you can always bargain down, but you can't bargain UP. (Except in really unusual circumstances.)

We have reduced as much as we can now - unless we want to risk some idiot trying to haggle us down below our minimum. You have that cushion built in too.

Fingers crossed you get some sensible viewers who recognise the value the 'extras' add.

It makes me feel like dragging people in off the street sometimes - it really is a fantastic time to buy a house - low interest rates, sellers willing to cut prices, bargains to be had.....

You're buyer will turn up - just can't predict when...

Afternoon House Selling Friends!
Just had a viewing which seemed to go well but we will have to wait and see! Can't complain about current EA, five viewings in four weeks.
Does feel like the market is picking up. We need to sell the house before August, otherwise will have to put Oz on hold, so starting to feel the pressure!

Glad to hear you viewing went well Beth, hope they make a decent offer. I might get to see you in Cairns at some point this year, still not completly sure about the location but likely to be Cairns.

Good luck to everyone this weekend.

A storm is expected tomorrow, so batten down those hatches!

I know it seems strange, but has anyone thought about putting their house on Ebay it seems pretty straight forward, like doing a classifieds on here.

Obviously there is no bidding they just contact you.

After I have had a few new pictures done on Monday I am going to try it myself.

May work, who knows I can but try.
